Horn Book (Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2011)

These abridged editions retain some of the flavor of the original books while removing archaic or otherwise unfamiliar words--and losing many of the details and much of the vibrancy that make these works classics. With the glorified plot summaries as their introductions to literature, young readers may not want to read the originals. The black-and-white illustrations are also bland.
