Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice like you've never seen it - or read it - before! Classics in Comics: Pride and Prejudice adapts the ultimate will-they-won't-they tale of Lizzie Bennet and Mr Darcy into a comic book full of humour and lots of side-eye. Bringing literature's top Regency romance to young audiences are two authors who are expert on accessible, inclusive and irresistible storytelling, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by cartoonist Gemma Correll.
Classics in Comics is a series of comic books for children aged 9 plus that has inclusion at its heart, opening the doors of literature for everyone to enter and understand. We include dyslexia-friendly design on every page and diverse representations in the art, so all readers can relate to and build life-long connections to the classics. Each comic has:
- snappy simplified text presenting key plot elements clearly
- introductory materials to help set the scene and introduce the original author
- heaps of material at the back, such as explorations of themes & authors' inspirations!
In the series: Pride & Prejudice / Little Women / Oliver Twist / The Adventure of the Speckled Band: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure / The Three Musketeers / Around the World in 80 Days
