Description
Age Range 8 to 12 If there is no word for freedom, how can anyone be free? Winston Smith lives in a nightmare world where the Thought Police spy on everyone and children are taught to betray their parents. Even the smallest sign of disagreement with the Party results in torture, imprisonment, or death. Big Brother oversees everything - but who is he? Winston tries hard to keep his thoughts and fears to himself. But then he meets Julia, a strong-minded young woman who is willing to run the terrible risk of their being found together. Will kindly Mr Charrington keep their secret? Can Winston and Julia find happiness despite the dangers that threaten them? Help new readers wave goodbye to their misconceptions of great literature being dry tales in dusty old tomes by introducing our vivid and witty covers and bright illustrations accompanying the lively and accessible retold text. The world's greatest classic stories come to life in these expert retellings. Baker Street Readers give an enchanting taste of the original tales, quoting best-known lines and most memorable moments, all supported with wonderfully witty (and sometimes scary!) illustrations .An introductory "cast of characters" list and an appendix with points for further discovery assist readers of any age to explore these timeless stories from around the world.
