Review :
Classics, but make them *manga*! That’s the concept here and I’ve got to say, having read both of the original books on which these are based, I’m pretty impressed. These pull text straight from the source so you’re getting close to the original while making it more contemporary for modern audiences... if you’re looking for a way to nudge a reader toward classics, these would be a great first step in getting them there!
Two brilliant books that are ideal for introducing classic stories to readers age 8+ This is a great series for reluctant treaders, encouraging them to read for fun. Each volume in the Manga Classics series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to a great work of literature in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining. Each book has stunning visuals that allow you to live the adventure as if you’re in it yourself.
