This series, Walker Illustrated Classics, is supposedly for children!!
But why let them have ALL the fun???!!!??
I've been buying multiple copies of their superbly illustrated (by Inga Moore) "Wind in the Willows" for my adult friends who don't have to have "adult" covers on their 'children's' books to read what they love in public.(Pooh on Harry Potter!!!)
This one has been "cut to the bone" to quote Jan Needle(male)who did the cutting More...

Very interesting book! I believe it will challenge the reader to a higher level of thinking. The book is l very elongated to the point of frustration. Also, the book has very risk gay parts. Literally I am talking two men in bed talking about how warm and comforting it is being close to each other. There are areas in the book that talk about trival things that are not nessary to the story line. The book has interest story topic that can't be copied. The vocabulary will help those looking

Again, I may not have read this exact edition, but who can tell with classics these days? I wonder if years from now there will be a hundred different editions of the Harry Potter series. I doubt it.
I first discovered Moby Dick at my elementary school library.

This edition did a really good job of shortening the book and making it more understandable to a modern reader (I loved the glossary). But, the language is so hard for a kid. Campbell got the main ideas, but I know a lot of the details were lost. Still - it served its purpose and now he has some idea of what Moby Dick is all about.

I really liked how they made it very realistic and how, you think of it, that if you don't read it, it seems like it couldn't happen - but when you read it, it makes it seem like it really happened and reasonable. I like how they used symbols for things happening for different reasons. They really give a little picture in your head.

Interesting, but it does contain a lot of long passages about whales and such!
