Children's Classics

This wonderful series is a quick way into a range of exciting stories, from the chilling tale of "Frankenstein", to the gripping adventure of "Treasure Island" and the powerful animal story of "Call of the Wild". Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. It is available for the first time with an accompanying audio CD. "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde", published in 1886, was not Robert Louis Stevenson's first novel, but it was one that helped to make him famous in his lifetime. The spine-chilling story shows the struggle between good and evil that Dr Jekyll faced and how, in the end, his own good nature was overpowered by the evil in himself. This title has a full glossary at the back of the book and comprehension, vocabulary and language activities can be found on our web sites.
