Wuthering Heights by Mary Sebag-Montefiore
The classic story by Emily Bronte retold for children ready to tackle longer and more complex stories. One of the most powerful tales ever told - a story of star-crossed lovers, played out against the wild Yorkshire moors where Cathy and Heathcliff's doomed love spirals into an epic drama of cruelty and revenge. Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton. Chapters in this book include: - Catherine's ghost - Wild children - Heartbroken... - Unquiet souls - Heathcliff's revenge - Rest in peace
The measure of the perdurability of what we consider a classic is as much indebted to how it permeates contemporary culture as to how it is able to transcend age barriers as well* Bronte blogspot *
