The Usborne Complete Dickens

I haven't been much interested in reading classics before I purchased the three Usborne Complete books, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Shakespeare. After reading this retelling of all of Dickens's novels, I had to consider how much I've missed. Obviously, I imagine all sorts of characters and scenes are not in these short retellings, but I highly enjoyed them. So, this book has really inspired me to delve deeper into more of what we call classics. <3
