An ex-convict who lapses into crime again even in the face of the greatest charity... A policeman bent on outing a man from his past, whatever the human consequences… A girl growing up under the loving eyes of a suitor while being totally unaware of her background of poverty and misfortune… Yes, meet the original and real story of Les Miserables, but presented as you've probably never seen it before – told in an all-ages comic strip version, with bright colours and much intricate detail from the pen of Marcia Williams. Bear with us and see how the new version compares to the original.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
For another classic adapted for the young reader , we can recommend [[The Odyssey (The Classics) by Rosemary Sutcliff and Alan Lee (illustrator)]]. [[Dante's Inferno by Hunt Emerson and Kevin Jackson]] is one instance of classic literature being adapted for graphic novel perusal; [[The Kite Runner (Graphic Novel) by Khaled Hosseini]] is a take on a much more modern one. We also enjoyed [[Cloud Boy by Marcia Williams]].
