A selection of the works of one of the world's greatest writers, retold in accessible comic-strip style.
Charles Dickens is not only the author of some of the best-loved stories in the English language, but also the creator of some of its most memorable characters. Meet them all between the pages of this splendid book, which retells, in lively comic-strip style, five of Dickens's most popular stories: Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and A Christmas Carol.
"Each story is told with vivid imagination and lively language - a great introduction to some classic stories." Junior"
