There are some books that came out so long ago that they have huge reputations.
Everyone knows, or so they think, their stories. But many who think that may never have actually read them.
Not least because they might adjudge them to be old, hard going, and boring.
This is one of a range of books called Comic classics, that endeavours to do things to introduce these timeless tales to a new generation. Thus telling the story in a way that modern audiences might find easier to relate to.
That is to say, in the story telling technique. Those who fear it's been altered for modern sensibilities can thus calm down

While the story of Treasure Island might not be the most imaginative, this version brilliantly done by Jack Noel has added so much to the story with his doodles, drawings, definitions and delights! This made me chuckle and this is such a smart way to make classics accessible to kids especially. What could be a tedious story to get through is now fun! I can’t wait for more!

The language of the original might be a bit challenging, so this a great option if you want to follow the story. Very fun and imaginative.

Such a great idea. There's no way my 8 year old would have sat through this book, but the illustrations completely bring it to life.
