Description
A beautifully illustrated retelling of Victor Hugo's epic tale of injustice, love and heroism in 19th century France. Marcia Williams brings to life one of the greatest novels of all time in her trademark accessible style.
The story follows Jean Valjean, an ex-convict trying to put his past behind him, as he builds a new life with Cosette, an orphaned girl he has rescued from poverty and neglect. But when Cosette grows up and falls in love with Marius Pontmercy, Jean Valjean must decide whether to let her go or risk everything for their happiness.
This stunning retelling is perfect for children who love the musical or film adaptations of Hugo's masterpiece, offering a fresh and engaging introduction to this story of redemption and sacrifice.
