We've all seen the films and the many Sherlock TV series. But have you actually read Sherlock?
Sherlock Holmes re-told in twenty-first century Easy-English : 3-in-1 Box Set is one of the Easy- English Classics series from international best-selling author Mark Williams.
Easy-English?
"easy" defined:
eas•yˈēzē/
adjective 1. achieved without great effort; presenting few difficulties.
“an easy way of retrieving information”synonyms: uncomplicated, undemanding, unchallenging,effortless, painless, trouble-free, facile, simple, straightforward.
Many classics of English literature were written in styles of English not commonly used today, and even for those who speak and read modern English fluently the archaic styles, wording and phrases can be challenging.
All the more so for those who are late to literacy or those reading English as a second language.
The Easy-English Classics series bridges that gap by re-writing the classics in modern-day English for modern-day English readers.
