{"product_id":"charles-dickens-and-friends","title":"Charles Dickens and Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive lively retellings of classic Charles Dickens' novels in lively comic-strip format.\nMarcia Williams presents this note to readers before the tales begin:\n'When I was a child, I liked short books with lots of pictures. So, I don't think I would ever have read Dickens, if it hadn't been for one teacher: Miss Duncan. She was very strict, taught English and did not like fidgets! I was always a fidget - except when she read Dickens aloud. My desk would fade from sight and I would be in Victorian England, sharing the trials of little Oliver Twist, or shaking in my boots with Pip, I have reread the stories many times since. The characters feel like friends to me now - just as they did to Dickens. The tales that I have chosen to re-imagine for you here are my five favourites. I hope that you will enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed bringing them to life.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitabay Jaipur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46750088626399,"sku":"9780744598384_Kitabay Jaipur_44-D2","price":249.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0302\/6927\/6291\/files\/9f01fb71493c47f5b7dd0dc4e02b6383.jpg?v=1738907633","url":"https:\/\/kitabay.com\/products\/charles-dickens-and-friends","provider":"Kitabay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
