I reread it to my six-year-old daughter last summer and both of us loved it - although she did require me to have a go at the full Yorkshire accent for Dickon which proved a little bit tricky. It has magic darkness whimsy and truth and the fact that it was first published in 1909 yet still managed to enthral my 21stcentury daughter is a testament to its greatness" Kirsty Young "The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a wonderful story that I could think myself into given that the heroine is the sort of awkward little girl that I thought I was. I loved the idea of a secret place where children could be on their own" Nina Bawden "So what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and without any prompting spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it!

SpecificationsAbout the Author Charlotte Brontë was born in Yorkshire in 1816. As a child she was sent to boarding school where two of her sisters died; she was subsequently educated at home with her younger siblings Emily Branwell and Anne. As an adult Charlotte worked as a governess and taught in a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under the pen-name Currer Bell and was followed by Shirley 1848 Villette 1853 and The Professor posthumously published in 1857. In 1854 Charlotte married her fathers curate Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.Author 1 Charlotte BrontëBook Description Part of "Penguins" beautiful hardback "Clothbound Classics" series designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Charlotte Brontes first published novel "Jane Eyre" was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a womans passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.Format HardcoverEdition Number Reprint editionEditorial Review "At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius the vehemence the indignation of Charlotte Bronte." --Virginia Woolf"ISBN-10 141040386ISBN-13 9780141040387View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Charlotte Brontë was born in Yorkshire in 1816. As a child she was sent to boarding school where two of her sisters died; she was subsequently educated at home with her younger siblings Emily Branwell and Anne. As an adult Charlotte worked as a governess and taught in a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under the pen-name Currer Bell and was followed by Shirley 1848 Villette 1853 and The Professor posthumously published in 1857. In 1854 Charlotte married her fathers curate Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.Author 1 Charlotte BrontëBook Description Part of "Penguins" beautiful hardback "Clothbound Classics" series designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Charlotte Brontes first published novel "Jane Eyre" was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a womans passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.Format HardcoverEdition Number Reprint editionEditorial Review "At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius the vehemence the indignation of Charlotte Bronte." --Virginia Woolf"ISBN-10 141040386ISBN-13 9780141040387View Full Specifications
