Thursday the 3rd of March 2022 marks 25 years of World Book Day!
Here at CCS Books we love to encourage young and reluctant readers to get stuck into the classics of literature through our Classics Illustrated graphic novels, Real Reads and Baker Street Readers. We aim to make the world’s greatest stories accessible through masterful retellings that always honour the context and structure of the original.
Today we are featuring some of our Classics Illustrated hardbacks, specifically tailored with a modern cover to engage and educate young readers with some of the greatest works ever written, while still thrilling older readers who have loving memories of this timeless series.
We also want to highlight the features of our Real Reads series that make them so appealing to young readers as a bridge to the full texts, to reluctant readers as a gentle introduction to a world of wonderful literature, to language students wanting access to other cultures, and to adult readers who are unlikely ever to read the original versions, or simply don’t have time to!
