Classic books condensed and illustrated

[suzywong]

you know the type

Ds1 7.5yrs has just got in to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vernes

I want to get in to them more and I'm thinking Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer

What else do you reckon?

Bookpeople or Red House have Peter Pan condensed and illustrated by Shirley Hughes. It is ace. I think they may have done an abridged version of the sequel, Peter Pan in Scarlet too.
Also Red House have A Christmas Carol at the moment, which I have just ordered, as it looks really good.
DD2 has an abridged version of Oliver Twist but I can't remember where I got it.

Hello
I am an Usborne books at home rep. Usborne do quite a few abridged and illustrated classics- try the Classics Retold series for readers aged 8+ which includes Treasure Usland and Tom Sawyer. Have a look at www.usbornebooksathome.co.uk for the catalogue and e mail me if you want to order them via me (free p&p if you order 4 or more books). I have just read the Usborne abridged version of Treasure Island and really enjoyed it!
For slightly younger readers there are also a good selection of these classics in the Young Reading series- just glancing at the catalogue I can see Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, Around the World in 80 days, Great Expectations and Dracula! All the books I've mentioned are £4.99

Sorry sorry sorry I think I have broken a rule on my last thread... totally didn't realise this could be seen as advertising. Apologies to all...
