Plot: When Charles Dickens created the character of Fagin in Oliver Twist, he gave birth to one of the most infamous personas in English literature. Few people know that Dickens' portrait of Fagin was possibly based on the Jewish receiver and fencer of stolen goods, Ikey Solomon. Much as been written about Ikey's exploits, his amazing and daring prison escapes capturing people's imaginations through the generations. The First Fagin recreates the fantastical life of Ikey Solomon, the most famous criminal of his age. From London's dens of vice, to Newgate jail to Australia's prison shores, Ikey takes us on a journey into crime, punishment, adventure and love whilst struggling against the transportation system of 19th century England.

[Gilly holds open the door and smiles at her]::Digby Popham: [Irritated] You don't have to be *nice* or nothin', she's my *sister*. [Rolls his eyes at Gilly and goes into the house]

Osh Popham: [Picks up a caterpillar] That's a mighty handsome critter.::Peter Carey: He has a very ugly face.::Osh Popham: Maybe he's thinking the same thing about you.

And guess what! I played! I played with this leg, and nobody showed me how.::Margaret Carey: That's your smartest leg.

Margaret Carey: The real blow was those mining stocks we'd counted on. The ones George Ferguson got your father to invest in are completely worthless. Not worth the paper they're written on.::Peter Carey: I'll be very happy to beg. I saw a beggar once with a tin cup full of money.
