Description
<b>Nine weighty literary classics are transformed into delectable morsels with Scott Nash’s playful versification and whimsical illustration.</b><br><br>Can’t stomach all of <i>Frankenstein</i>? Lacking the strength to read <i>The Odyssey</i>? Don’t have 1,001 nights to get through Scheherazade’s ordeal? Never fear, <i>Shrunken Treasures</i> are here! Nine of the world’s best-known stories and books have been reduced, like slowly simmered cherries, to tart and tasty mouthfuls. Lighthearted verse turns <i>Moby-Dick</i> into a simple nursery song. Outrageous color makes even gloomy <i>Hamlet</i> seem like fun. Riotous images transform Jane Eyre’s ordeal into a whirlwind adventure. <i>The Metamorphosis, Remembrance of Things Past, Don Quixote, </i>and others have all been delivered from dense duty to delightful ditty in Scott Nash’s collection of hallowed classics, featuring notes about the original texts at the end.
