Every kid has thrilled to the story of A Christmas Carol and adults have been enraptured by his tales of Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield and others over the centuries.
Frances Lincoln Children’s Books and artist Jannicke Hansen and writer Angela McAllister have adapted many of Dicken’s tales so that children may enjoy them in A World Full Of Dickens Stories.
Dickens's classics Oliver Twist, The Old Curiosity Shop, A Tale Of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Nicholas Nickleby and Hard Times have been lovingly adapted for young minds.
The hardbound book has a very Edwardian/Victorian feel with its heavy cover stock, copper foil type and period cover illustrations in color.
Inside the period appearing illustrations serve to move the stories along and are sure to be a delight for young eyes.
It’s a wonderful collection of classics successfully updated and simplified so that young readers can enjoy them.
I really like the look and feel of the book. The illustrations are delightful and the text is simple, concise and successfully captures the prose of Dickens.
