Now, I love to find new books for any age group of any genre. However, when I received a phone call from my Mum on Saturday, she told me there were a collection at the Springwood Community Centre not far from her home called the 'Illustrated Classic Editions Thrillers'. I asked what they looked liked. Well, she said she'd get them and bring them to me.
That night, she brought them over to my house and showed them to me and I found they were large print and for kids. I had the impression they were graphic novels. However, they weren't. There are six in all and all of them are written by the most classic writers around from the twentieth century and adapted for children between the ages of 9 and 12. There are 'Tales of Mystery and Terror' by Edgar Allan Poe, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson, 'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells, 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells and 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley. All these books are in my shelves however these particular ones are adapted from the adult versions and put in to larger print for young minds to grasp quickly and have great illustrations. Well worth looking for.
