Sherlock Holmes – Illustrated Abridged Classic for Children Age 8 to 15 (Hardcover)

Holmes reads a stranger's sleeve and knows where the man has been, and that trick is what hooks young readers first. This abridged hardcover puts Conan Doyle's detective in front of eight- to fifteen-year-olds, trimming sentence length and period detail while leaving the deductions and the cases recognisable. Illustrations accompany the 256 pages, giving a visual anchor to Victorian London for readers meeting it for the first time. The practical side: • Conan Doyle's detective stories abridged for younger readers • 256 illustrated pages in a hardcover binding • Deductive sequences kept rather than summarised away • Written for the eight-to-fifteen age range Good for children starting on detective fiction and for class libraries, published by Dreamland Publications and available from Boipoka.
