About this title

Review:

"Brit Lit is one of my favorite classes to teach. I mean, who can resist heroes like Beowulf, King Arthur and Robin Hood, not to mention folklore rich with fairies and ghosts? Throw in famous characters like Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes and introduce the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver and Jim Hawkins and you've got yourself a class most teens can really sink their teeth into."

Review:

"My son Jack didn't like English at high school so I bought him a lot of comic versions of classic books such as Jekyll And Hyde, Kidnapped and Macbeth - now he wants to go to see the Shakespeare play.
"It's a great way to get people to read. The problem is that there just aren't enough comics out there any more."
