Further details

June 1838. After a year of living on the run, Fagin, Dodger and the gang return to London to pull off their biggest mission yet - to rob the Crown Jewels during the rehearsal of Queen Victoria's coronation. Can they steal it from beneath her very nose? There is one man who stands in their way - the American President and guest of honour, Martin Van Buren. Other lead characters include the prissy crown jeweller John Bridge, the long suffering Archbishop of Canterbury William Howley and Chief Yeoman Warder Royston Pickford.
