Little Dorrit

This is a new title in Young Reading, Series Three, based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens. It is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. Set against various backdrops including the Marshalsea Debtor's Prison, Bleeding Heart Yard (a Victorian slum) and the glittering cities of Europe, this is full of the usual Dickens themes: love, honour, loyalty, betrayal and hypocrisy. This title is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is Principal Lecturer in Education from Roehampton University and an early reading specialist. It has beautifully produced hardback with ribbon marker.
