Les Miserables: 7 (Classics Illustrated)

I collected these when I was a kid. These are perfect reproductions of the originals. I have bought them all and give them to the grandchildren. We love 'em!

A good little book. I didn't realise that it wasn't the full Victor Hugo book, but a shortened version. Neverthe less, it made a good, if brief, read.

You could read a Wiki appraisal of Les Mis to find out what it's about or pick up this graphic novel - though this was written in the day when they were called comics. Not read the book so can't say how accurate it is but it does conjur up a grim, dark feel. Obviously it's not as vibrant as the Ivanhoe or Robin Hood stuff, but then neither is the book; the artist is fulfilling his or her brief.
