20,000 Leagues under the Sea

(4) 4-6 Eyewitness Classics series. Illustrated by Paul Wright. Abridgments of two famous novels preserve each book's most compelling incidents, but the brevity of each precludes much of the original's richness. Notes and informational sidebars throughout provide story comment and historical context, but clutter the book design and are distracting. The watercolor illustrations for Crusoe and the oil paintings for 20,000 Leagues nicely suit each story's mood and setting.
