Charles Dickens and Friends

Marcia Williams

0/5 ( ratings)

Five lively retellings of classic Charles Dickens' novels in lively comic-strip format.

Marcia Williams presents this note to readers before the tales begin:
'When I was a child, I liked short books with lots of pictures. So, I don't think I would ever have read Dickens, if it hadn't been for one teacher: Miss Duncan. She was very strict, taught English and did not like fidgets! I was always a fidget - except when she read Dickens aloud. My desk would fade from sight and I would be in Victorian England, sharing the trials of little Oliver Twist, or shaking in my boots with Pip, I have reread the stories many times since. The characters feel like friends to me now - just as they did to Dickens. The tales that I have chosen to re-imagine for you here are my five favourites. I hope that you will enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed bringing them to life.'
