Illustrated Stories from Dickens (Illustrated Story Collections)

This book contains five stories, Oliver Twist, Bleak House, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and David Copperfield. In addition there is a story about the life and times of Charles Dickens. Each story is about 70 pages long, with illustrations on nearly every page and the tales are told in an entertaining manner, making this book an ideal introduction to Dickens for young children. Moreover, the pages and binding are of good quality so it should last a long time.

Perfect for my 10yr old granddaughter who loves to read. A beautiful hard back book. No issues with purchase, no issues with seller.

Perfectly abridged and illustrated for children to get the gist of the stories. There is just enough of each novel in here for children to be hooked into the story. My boys aged 7 and 8 have enjoyed reading these, and listening to chapters as a bedtime story and I can imagine (hope) that they will remember the stories when they are older and read the real thing. I ordered from Woeld of Books and it arrived promptly, in very good, used condition.

I have never really wanted to read Charles Dickens, or watch any TV productions of his work, thinking all of his work to be miserable and depressing. The reason I bought this was just to give myself a VERY basic idea of what one or two of his books were about. This is a children's book obviously so it really is basic and simple to read. However, I really enjoyed reading through it and finally understanding the main plot from these different works. There is a section about Charles Dickens' life that actually sparked some real interest in me. I have since sent for a selection of his books and have discovered that I love the way he writes, also it isn't all misery afterall. I am old enough to have grand children so feel a little ashamed that my introduction to Charles Dickens' work has been this children's book but it has taught me what I have been missing. The illustrations are lovely and for me, added to the enjoyment. I feel that this book would be a very good place to start in encouraging young readers to explore what I now believe to be one of our great authors.

Book itself good level for my grandchildren. Condition good but there was a dedication on the fly leaf which I will have to remove. I don’t think this was mentioned when I ordered it as a used book.

My son doesn't take interest in any book with no illustrations. This book has lots of colourful full page illustrations, very simply written with small chunks of the story abridged. I started him at nine years old on his Dickens' discovery but this book can be useful to an even younger kid who loves to read. Or as a bedtime story for a parent to read out. I would recommend this as a good, simple beginning for anyone wanting to start their kids on Dickens.

A good introduction to Dickens for children. I would say that these books are probably more suited to year 4,5 and 6 not because of the complexity of the words, but more to do with the more seroius story lines. Usborne have managed to stay true to the original books without being too watered down. They are also nicely illustrated which makes all the difference during the bedtime read. We have had a number of these books in the series and have neve been disappointed. Top marks again to the masters of the childrens book.

Beautifully illustrated, enjoyed by the whole family, including a 4-year-old.

My 9 year old son and I enjoyed reading this book together at story time. It’s a great way to introduce kids to the classics. It’s a shortened and simplified version of the classic tales, with illustrations.

Arrivato prima del previsto e in buone condizioni

Eine tolle wirklich kinderfreundliche Art Dickens zu erzählen (auf Englisch!). Ich würde sagen ab 5, aber oben bis 12 oder weiter. Die tragischen Geschichten sind mit wunderschönen Illustrationen bereichert und Dickens kann einfach spannende, packende Handlungen schaffen. Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn Ihr Kind Dickens liest.
