Shrunken Treasures: Literary Classics, Short, Sweet, and Silly

Nine weighty literary classics are transformed into delectable morsels with Scott Nashâ€™s playful versification and whimsical illustration.

Canâ€™t stomach all of Frankenstein? Lacking the strength to read The Odyssey? Donâ€™t have 1,001 nights to get through Scheherazadeâ€™s ordeal? Never fear, Shrunken Treasures are here! Nine of the worldâ€™s best-known stories and books have been reduced, like slowly simmered cherries, to tart and tasty mouthfuls. Lighthearted verse turns Moby-Dick into a simple nursery song. Outrageous color makes even gloomy Hamlet seem like fun. Riotous images transform Jane Eyreâ€™s ordeal into a whirlwind adventure. The Metamorphosis, Remembrance of Things Past, Don Quixote, and others have all been delivered from dense duty to delightful ditty in Scott Nashâ€™s collection of hallowed classics, featuring notes about the original texts at the end.
