This is the classic novel brought to life in full colour! Bram
Stoker's gothic masterpiece was first published in 1897, and has
spawned so many classic films, all based on the character he
invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Like
"Frankenstein", the films have pushed the characters into the very
fabric of our society, so it is with great pride that we bring you
a visual treatment that is true to the original - made even more
exciting by the wonderous talent that is Staz Johnson!
The classic novel brought to life in full colour. A respectable
household is shocked when a strange man visits them shortly after
dinner and proceeds to unravel their prejudices and lies.
On a painful, freezing Easter Monday in 1917, Private Robert
Gooding Henson of the Somerset Light Infantry is launched into the
Battle of Arras. Robert is twenty-three years old, a farmer's boy
from Somerset, who joins up against his father's wishes. Robert
forms fast friendships with Stanley, who lied about his age to go
to war, and Ernest, whose own slippery account betrays a life on
the streets. Their friendship is forged through gas attacks, trench
warfare, freezing in trenches, hunting rats, and chasing down
kidnapped regimental dogs. Their life is one of mud and mayhem but
also love and laughs. This is the story of Robert's journey to
Arras and back, his dreams and memories drawing him home. His story
is that of the working-class Tommy, the story of thousands of young
men who were caught in the collision between old rural values and
the relentlessness of a new kind of war. It is a story that
connects the past with the present through land, love and blood.
The full story in quick modern English for a fast-paced read. A
respectable household is shocked when a strange man visits them
shortly after dinner and proceeds to unravel their prejudices and
lies.
I went down into the vaults. There lay the Count! He was either
dead or asleep, I could not say which - for the eyes were open and
stony but without the glassiness of death. The classic gothic
horror story, presented in a totally engaging way through the
immensley powerful illustrations, while staying true to the
original prose novel by utilising authentic text and dialogue.

adaptation of Henry V as well as any traditional text. In fact,
many of the activities can stand on their own as introductions to
the world of Shakespeare.
