Charles Dickens' Children Stories

Charles Dickens · 2014
72/100
👍 Worth It

Penny loves handing kids Dickens' little ones without the full 800-page commitment — Tiny Tim, Little Nell, Little Dorrit, all in bite-sized form. Fair warning: the prose is Victorian and dense, so this reads best aloud with an adult or for a strong tween reader, not a beginner. Free and public domain besides, so there's no real downside to trying it.
