Horn Book Review

These graphic-novel abridgements vary from modest but adequate storytelling (in shorter tales like Wilde's) to merely illustrated plot summaries for more complex works (Melville's and Homer's). All the tales are told in short sentences featuring modern English. Stylized illustrations can make characters hard to distinguish when the narration is already so reduced. Each volume includes brief background material, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos. [Review covers these Graphic Revolve: Classic Fiction titles: Homer's "The Iliad", William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray", H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau", and Herman Melville's "Moby Dick."] (c) Copyright 2019. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
