Holly Jade O'Leary arranging casting and styled Nancy and The Artful Dodger on behalf of Andy Ryan and Cityread London.
Cityread London is an annual celebration of literature that brings reading to life for the whole capital in a massive book group. Each spring, Cityread invites London’s citizens, workers and visitors to pick up a book – the same book – and read it together. Taking the chosen novel as a starting point, a month-long programme of book groups, author talks, workshops and other events takes place across London’s libraries, bookshops, museums and other venues.
Images from this shoot were used throughout the London Underground transport network, as in association with the local libraries and London Cityread distributed a a significant amount of copies of Oliver Twist free of charge on behalf of Penguin Classics.
The campaign was designed to engage a younger, urban audience, and a Charles Dickens inspired spectacular free event was staged at King's Cross Station.
