LOVE this adorable and charming book! It is the first book I have found since the classic
"Love you forever" book that has truly touched my heart. It is a perfect gift for a new parent
and or grandparent to read to their new child as they grow up and go through the silly and
rambunctious stages of childhood.
I also love the sweet almost vintage-style illustrations which also tugged on my heart strings!
Sure to be a classic. I highly recommend this dear book!

I got bogged-down fairly early in this book and almost decided to stop reading it. Fortunately for me, it soon re-kindled my interest (no pun intended), and only got better as it progressed. This was my first foray into Dickens, and if his other works are as entertaining as this one is, I anticipate a world of wonderful reading ahead. Be forewarned that some of this book's reviews give away too much of its plot (I made the mistake of reading them first). Do yourself a favor: Just trust that Dickens deserves his legend and dive-in. I can't imagine that this famous classic will disappoint you.

I give Grammar-Land four stars only because I haven't finished it yet!  This book is too cute and engaging.  I didn't think it possible to make grammar fun, but alas, Grammar-Land has done it!  M.L. Nesbitt accomplished the difficult feat in the late 1800s.  What a GREAT classic!  I will definitely be sharing this fine treasure!

Such a lovely story, full of charm and wit. It's one of those books, like The Little Prince, that can be read at any age.  Should be a classic!

Great classic. I read it a few decades ago. Loved it then and can't wait to get started with this one.

Awesome classic and wonderful illustrations. Also the sewn bindery allows for lots of love from a child. The story will thrill little folks for generations. Our own children grew up with little golden books and now we can get them for our grandchildren!

I think what makes this story such a classic is the cast of well drawn characters. Even in their most desperate moments, the reader can recognize or relate to something themselves in one or maybe many of the characters.

I think any reader will perk up and take notice when there is a new edition of their favorite classic. I know whenever I see a new Wuthering Heights edition I swoon. Les Miserables is no different. When I heard about the new edition, I was thrilled to have something updated and more modern to sink my teeth into.

The authors writing style is typical of the period, a little dense and wordy but what I liked about this translation was that the translator really tried to make it read more easily and fast without compromising the content or original writing style. The translation is very modern which made this novel much easier to read but yet not so modern that the original intent is lost.

I was aggressively reading it so I got through 1400+ pages within about 3 weeks. I did take breaks in between to read other things so I probably could have read it much faster because the translation was so smooth, but it did take a while to digest the content, but not the presentation.

Now lets talk about the cover of this new edition. Some people have criticized the cover art for being too comical or elementary. I have to disagree, I think it invites new audiences to discover a classic that they might have been intimidated to pick up.

I might not be scared by the length of the book but many other readers might. I think the eye catching art work on the cover makes it seem approachable and definitely readable. So basically I love the new cover design and my review copy has earned a place of honor on my bookshelf where the cover can be displayed for all to enjoy.

This is truly a wonderful story and it resonates across the ages. I think most readers will find something to love and identify with throughout the story. The new translation will help attract a more modern audience and the cover will appeal to new and old classic readers alike!

This book is destined to become a classic like Into the Wild, but it will probably take a while as friends recommend it to friends. The fact that the kids escaped and went on to have fulfilling lives provides the end the story needs, and makes it a tale of redemption. I couldn't put it down. Thank you, Tom Kizzia.

A beautifully written story, sure to become a classic. I know I plan on giving it to my children and grandchildren.

This book will become a classic of its gender, not just because its one of  the few (the only) book written by two people but because it shows what  sailing is really about: discovering new land within.
Somewhere I read  that this film rights were bought and would dearly love to see this tale  told on the big screen!
