usborne graphic stories: adventures of robin hood

Graphic novels are more popular than ever thanks to popular culture and the amount of exposure they get. This new Graphic Stories series from Usborne provide a great gateway to somewhat difficult stories for relunctant readers to learn to enjoy. Specifically designed to be readable by children aged 7 +, with vocabulary and sentence structures that match what they know, these stories are entertaining, and the fun, action-packed illustrations are a great way to initiate reluctant readers, in particular boys, to the pleasure of sitting down and reading a book, plunging into an imaginary universe and be taken away by a story. The first two in the series, Robin Hood and King Arthur, are part of the fundamental classics of Western Culture, and must be learnt about. The following stories will include Dracula, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and other retellings of classic literature with eye-catching illustrations and vibrant dialogues. Also a great addition to libraries' catalogues.
