Little Dorrit

This is a title in "Young Reading, Series Three", based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens. It is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. Set against various backdrops including the Marshalsea Debtor's "Prison, Bleeding Heart Yard (a Victorian slum)" and the glittering cities of Europe, this is full of the usual Dickens themes: love, honour, loyalty, betrayal and hypocrisy.
