“Long before the French Revolution turns up in history class, confident older readers can live through it beside Lucie and Sydney. When the full novel comes along, they’ll be meeting old friends.”
Two cities, one revolution and three lives pulled into the storm.
A Tale of Two Cities is an illustrated retelling of the classic novel for young readers, set in London and Paris as France heads towards revolution.
In Dickens's story, Lucie Manette brings her frail father, a doctor who has suffered terribly in Paris, home to London. Years later, Charles Darnay, who helped them on that journey, stands trial, and Sydney Carton, a gifted but idle lawyer, enters their lives.
Why readers love it
- Lively talk, like Sydney grumbling that Charles is "everything I'm not".
- Named chapters, such as "Witness in court", make a big story easy to follow.
- Colour pictures, from a London garden to Sydney asleep by melted candles.
Retold by Mary Sebag-Montefiore · Illustrated by Barry Ablett · Young Reading series · English
