Abridged Children's Classics

New for 2025 - a series of classic novels which have been adapted to make them more accessible to today's children.

Children's classic novels often use a style and vocabulary unfamiliar to modern readers. These adaptations aim to keep the character of the original books whilst making them more readable.

The first in this series is:

The Wind in the Willows, abridged

The famous adventures of Mole, the Water Rat, Badger and Mr Toad: Kenneth Grahame's book has been loved since its first publication in 1908.
