The Count of Monte Cristo
Author(s): Pauline Francis
The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, was an instant success when it was first serialised in 1844-45. It tells the story of Edmond Dantes, an innocent man wrongfully imprisoned. On his escape, Dantes inherits a vast hoard of treasure on the Island of Monte Cristo, and uses his fortune to seek revenge on those who plotted his downfall. This title is part of a wonderful new series that offers a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. Retold rather than abridged.
