Great Expectations
Charles Dickens
“I never saw my father or my mother,
and never saw any likeness of either of them.”
No classical collection would be complete without at least one Dickens title; so we thought we’d tackle the greatest of them all first! The wonderful tale of Pip, Miss Havisham, and the spiteful Estella is retold here with fresh enthusiasm contained within Victorian ambience. If you know the story already, you must buy this graphical novel - and if you don’t know the story, then this book is the best way to enjoy one of the greatest works of literary history

A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.”
The original Christmas Tale set in victorian
Our second Dickens title is probably his best-loved story. Scrooge gets a rude awakening to how his life is, and how it should be. Full of Christmas Spirit(s), this is a book that you’ll read all year round!

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
“Cursed be the hands that formed you!”
True to the original novel (rather than the square-headed Boris Karloff image from the films!) Declan’s naturally gothic artistic style is a perfect match for this epic tale. Frankenstein is such a well known title, yet the films strayed so far beyond the original novel that many people today don’t realise how this classic horror tale deals with such timeless subjects as alienation, empathy and understanding beyond appearance. Another great story, beautifully crafted into a superb graphic novel.
