This beautifully illustrated collection contains all of Charles Dickens' novels adapted for young readers, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol. There are illustrated notes on the characters in an introduction to each story, plus links to websites to find out more about Charles Dickens' life and times.
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
