Classic Tales

This text is part of a series of readers that offer young learners of English richly illustrated editions of well-loved tales.

The language is carefully graded for individual reading, or for reading aloud.

The Beginner level is simpler than the Elementary titles published in 1996, and they use present-tense narrative and a minimal vocabulary load.

The stories have the same high standard of design and artwork, but with less text on each page.
