The Pick-Pocket series is Lindsey Hutchinson’s most recent connected work. The three books follow a young pickpocket navigating the dangers of Victorian street life. The Pick-Pocket Orphans and The Pick-Pocket’s Plight (both 2024) establish the character’s world, and The Pick-Pocket’s Return (2025) continues the story.
The series fits within the Dickensian tradition of stories about children surviving by their wits on Victorian streets. Hutchinson brings her knowledge of Black Country history to bear on the setting, grounding the drama in the realities of the period.
