This book contains six illustrated stories by Charles Dickens.
These are six great novels simply retold to form a child's first
introduction to Dickens' unique view of humanity. It includes A
Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, The Old
Curiosity Shop, Nicholas Nickleby, and - of course - Oliver Twist.
Though teeming with extraordinary characters, events and locations,
Dickens' writing offers us real insights into the social conditions
of his day and the way in which ordinary people were affected.
Sidebars explore the historical background and explain the language
the author used, which still resonates today. Specially adapted by
Sue Butler and with sumptuous illustrations by Jenny Thorne, this
beautiful collection is an ideal entry point into the works of
Dickens Charles Dickens was born on February 7th 1812 in
Portsmouth, England, the son of a navy clerk. After moving to
London, his father was imprisoned for debt and the young Dickens
went to work in a blacking factory, an experience that contributed
greatly to his later views on social reform.He became a journalist,
but would be better known for his wonderful novels, short stories
and articles - which are still widely read and adapted to this day.
Some of his most memorable tales are retold here in shortened and
simplified form.
