Adventure Classics: Hidden Worlds: A Journey to the Centre of the Earth, King Solomon's Mines, The Lost World, adapted for the modern reader

by Emma Laybourn, Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard

These three famous adventure novels were ground-breaking in their time; but their old-fashioned style and vocabulary can be off-putting for today's readers. In this adaptation the books have been carefully abridged and slightly modernised to increase their appeal for readers of all ages.

About the author

I'm an author based in the north of England. Although I've spent most of my working life in schools and libraries, I've also had seven children's books published, as well as about 60 short stories in various magazines in the UK and Australia.
In 2012 I set up a child-friendly story website, Megamousebooks.com, to offer free online children's stories, downloadable ebooks and puzzles. It's proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one.
I've also been slowly producing free, abridged ebook versions of classic English novels, and selections of well-known poetry. These are now available from my second website, Englishliteratureebooks.com.
