Nice pri t quality & illustration.Good intro into classic literature
Loved this book as a child. Wanted to get my 9 year old interested- this book was ideal. It’s in the cartoon- words style of the Tom Gates books, which he loves. Normally he would not have attempted the original book, but this format was perfect for him. He says he really enjoyed the story.
Love the front cover . Love the comic format great way to get children interested in the classics
Bought for my 9 year old Grandson. He loved it
Totally flips the classic favourite on it’s head….for the better.Entirely Artistically illustrated in ONLY black and blue, the images are comically quirky, injecting humour in this classic – a tale which was all but forgotten by today’s youth.This shortened original text carries the gist of the original message but appeals to the comic-hungry-era, tech-obsessed youngsters. Broken into manageable chunks on each page, and walloped with heaps of hilarious illustrations, a barrage of speech bubbles, exclusively printed in “colourful” hues of black and blue – with colourations well surpassing 50 shades of either!Highly expressive for visual readers using emanatas, explanations, page by page glossary for the some difficult to decipher original language (no need to flick to the back), block narratives, footnotes and diagrams throughout. Yet still remaining appealing to it’s ‘captive’ audience.Our son, though 12, loved this quick read which is designed for the under tens. it wasn’t lost on him; rather, he was amused by the genius styilistic interpretations of Jack Noel. It flips everything you know about story telling on itself: No single form is used: instead a perfect blend of illustrative comic, mingled with descriptive texts and original script to create an imaginative piece of work. Absolutely ingenious.It’s fast-paced; sashaying seamlessly through Robert Stevenson’s original, with cutlass wielding pirates, deceptive characters, fast-talking fowls and hidden treasures abound. 5 stars
