Dick Maybury, aged nine, 1840   

My Story: Dodger!

MY STORY (Dodger!) by: Jim Eldridge
Summary:
In 1840, Dick Maybury arrives in London with nowhere to stay, no money and no friends. A chance meeting with the Adelphi gang gives him all three. But the gang makes their living outside the law and Dick learns that, once begun, the life of a pickpocket is very hard to leave behind...  

• It is a real story based on a boy named Dick Kenton, who got angry with his family and ran away to London on a coach from Shrewsbury,  renaming himself as Dick Maybury. 
• Dick joined many gangs and went to jail 5 times, doing all these before he turned eighteen. Once, he dodged away from big punishments by using stolen money to hire a lawyer to speak for him in court, and in the end was sentenced to 6 months of jail in the Westminster Bridewell prison in London. 
• After committing so many crimes, Dick changed, from a bad-charactered guy to a good-charactered guy.
