Jane Austen Children's Stories Easy Classics Collection 8 Book Box Set - Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey & More + Story Journal - Illustrated Gift Set with Free Audiobooks

Description

Introduce your child to Jane Austen – 8 beautifully illustrated Easy Classics for ages 7–9, with free audiobooks and a story journal. From the gardens of Pemberley to the shadowy corridors of Northanger Abbey, this eight-book collection brings literature's most beloved heroines to readers aged seven and up. Children will follow Elizabeth Bennet as she discovers that first impressions can deceive, watch Emma learn that matchmaking is harder than it looks, and meet Catherine Morland, whose imagination causes rather more trouble than she bargained for. Each novel is retold in clear, warm language that keeps Austen's wit and heart intact whilst making the stories genuinely readable for young children – and every book carries a QR code linking to a free audiobook, so children can listen along as they read. The adaptations are by Gemma Barder, a Leicestershire-based children's author who began her career in children's magazines before becoming a full-time writer of novels, treasuries and activity books, with Love and Friendship adapted by Kellie Jones. Every book is illustrated throughout, helping developing readers follow each story with confidence. What sets this collection apart is the eighth book: a My Story Journal that invites children to move from reading stories to writing their own – a natural companion to 2nd through 4th grade creative writing. For schools, the set introduces heritage English literature at an accessible grades 2-4 level; for parents and gift buyers, it is a complete Austen library in one keepsake slipcase – a gift that grows with a child. Sweet Cherry Easy Classics adapts classic literature into accessible illustrated stories for children. From Sweet Cherry Publishing – Children's Publisher of the Year 2022.
