Cozy Classics: Les Miserables by Jack Wang
The world's best loved stories are made adorably cuddly in this new board book series from Simply Read. Created by Jack and Holman Wang, this series distils great works of literature into just 12 child-friendly words. Each word is accompanied by 12 stunning images of needle-felted characters. Les Miserables is Victor Hugo's sweeping French saga about one man's search for redemption in a world of hardship in misery. Now this famous classic can be shared with younger children. Cozy Classics is nothing short of a whole new genre in children's book illustration.
