Illustrated Classic Collection Slipcase

Four adventure classics reach younger readers here in abridged form, each carrying full-colour illustration throughout. The set brings together The Secret Garden, The Jungle Book, Black Beauty and The Call of the Wild. Abridgement keeps the shape of each story while cutting length and archaic phrasing, which puts these books within reach of readers around nine and above. Pictures appear on most spreads, decorative borders frame the pages, and a printed slipcase holds the four hardcovers together as a single unit on a shelf or in a classroom reading corner. At a glance: • Four abridged classics: an animal story, a jungle fable, a pony tale and a northern adventure • Full-colour artwork running through each volume • Language pitched at readers of about nine and older • A printed slipcase that keeps the four books as one set Suited to home libraries, classroom reading corners and gift-givers looking for a first set of classics, published by Miles Kelly Publishing and available from Boipoka.
