The reviewer seemed to be doubting the market for such books when kids won't be "re-introduced" to Dickens for several more years when they get assigned to him in high school. I thought the reviewer's take on it was quite cynical and a little sad. (As a homeschooling mom, this is the sort of book we love!) It's nice to see a positive review (and a color pic of the cover).Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.com
