Illustrated Stories from Dickens

The book was according to my expectations !Amazing collection of stories fromDickens !

Best book for kids!!! Love the illustrations!!!

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.

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.

Although my girls are avid readers, they found this book, with it's illustrations, to be much more engaging than the next age up on Dickens.My twin girls have just celebrated their 8th birthday, and they have already read all of Dickens and shakespeare, thanks to osborne books. They've also read all of the Roald Dahl .This is an excellent 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.

I have bought 4 so far to try to encourage reading and distract children from their screens! It worked and they genuinely love these Dickens stories. You may have to read to them aloud though!
