Horn Book (Mon Oct 07 00:00:00 CDT 2024)

These inexpensive condensed versions of classic novels are quickly paced and competently told, with occasional black-and-white illustrations adding spice. Still, one wonders why the adaptations were created in the first place. Some tales (e.g., Gullivers Travels) are already suited for children; others gain their depth from complexities of material and language, which is excised here for age-appropriateness.
