Description

Make the writings of Dickens more accessible for your children. This lovely Usborne edition of 15 stories includes a few lesser-known works like Martin Chuzzlewit (just fun to say), and others we've grown to love such as: Hard Times, Nicholas Nickleby, A Christmas Carol. Each selection is compiled in a user-friendly way. Begin with the lovely illustrated pages that describe the main characters—and may hint to the conflicts involved. Then, move through these simplified versions or retellings that still maintain the plot, style, and linguistic flavor of the originals. 516 pgs, hc.
