The listing, 5 MORE Fantastic Illustrated Classic Editions! Wizard of Oz, Kidnapped, & much MORE! FREE SHIPPING! has ended.

This is a great auction! Up for bids, from my very own well-kept, fastidiously preserved collection, are FIVE ILLUSTRATED CLASSIC EDITIONS!!! These are a set of five small (5 1/2 x 4?) HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE books from a series of editions of classic novels published in the 1970's and 80's which have been abridged and simplified so that a young reader could grasp the story and encounter key sections of the original dialogue and narration of the original work.

(These are also GREAT for adults who would enjoy a fast-paced version of a classic tale, or the student who wants to read a classic in a relatively-short amount of time but also desires a fuller, more satisfying reading experience than 'Cliff's Notes' can provide. GREAT FOR BOOK REPORTS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO COLLEGE!!!)

One of the most notable features would have to be the illustrations that accompany each page of the narrative, as well as the vividly-depicted covers, which have a simple, "Van Gogh-like" beauty in their coloring and style.

Included here are: "The Wizard of Oz," by L. Frank Baum; "Kidnapped," by Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Last of the Mohicans," by James Fenimore Cooper; "Little Women," by Louisa May Alcott; and "Ben-Hur," by Lew Wallace.

These exciting books are a great way to encourage youngsters to read, while the fairly-large printing on every page makes them ideal reading for the elderly, as well!

Reading Illustrated Classic Editions instilled in me a life-long love of the written word and set me on a path toward a bachelors degree in English!
