About this product

Product Information

In the early twentieth century, great books were often retold in words of one syllable so that the language would be easier for beginning readers. In this adaptation, Mrs J. C. Gorham cheats only a little, hyphenating some longer words that couldn't be avoided-but the text remains a lively and enjoyable retelling of Lewis Carroll's classic tale. Recommended for young readers and for adult literacy classes. -- Mrs J. C. Gorham, alas, is kwn to us only by her married name-and this means, by the usual practice of the time, that her husband was named J. C. Nevertheless, Mrs Gorham is table for having written three books in Burt's Series of One Syllable Books, Gulliver's Travels (1896) and Black Beauty (1905) being her other two, with some eleven other books in this series of Classics, selected specially for young people's reading, and told in simple language for youngest readers. Mrs Gorham's adaptation is a fine example of mosyllabic writing. Retelling in words of one syllable is indeed a clever game and it isn't easy to do -- t convincingly, anyway. Mrs Gorham achieved it: her retelling in simple language for younger and early readers is still worth reading today.
