Keeps the depth of the original story while being easy to follow. Includes a new introduction to explain the context in which the story was written. A great first read for those studying or interested in the Carol. Includes the Carols original illustrations by John Leech. This new version of Charles Dickenss classic tale has been carefully, lovingly, and respectfully crafted by the author and academic Dr Daniel K. Fletcher to inspire young readers to immerse themselves in the spirit and imagination of Englands greatestever writer. Fletchers revision is possibly the first Young Adult version of the Carol available on the market. There have been countless childrens versions of the Carol released, but these have almost always shortened and simplified the story, removing much of the powerful description and depth of meaning from Dickenss original text. Fletchers retelling is aimed at more mature young readers who are ready to begin exploring Dickenss story in all its original complexity. Fletcher keeps and explores Dickenss key themes of poverty, inequality and personal growth as he works his way through the text, staying true to Dickenss voice and passion for his subject matter. At the same time, Fletcher makes every line as accessible as possible, so that younger readers are supported in rising to understand Dickenss mature ideas.
