From the dazzling ballrooms of St Petersburg to the war-torn streets of Moscow, this ten-book collection opens the world's most celebrated literature to young readers. Children will march with Tolstoy's soldiers, unravel mysteries of conscience with Dostoevsky, and meet unforgettable characters from Anna Karenina to Eugene Onegin – each novel retold as a complete story in clear, engaging language.
