A new Wuthering Heights adaptation for children has just been published:
Wuthering Heights (Young Reading (Series 3))
Mary Sebag-Montefiore (Author)
Alan Marks (Illustrator)
Key Stage: KS2; Age 7+
# Publisher: Usborne Publishing Ltd (29 Oct 2010)
# ISBN-10: 1409521370
# ISBN-13: 978-1409521372

This is a new title in 'Young Reading, Series Three'. It is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. It tells the doomed love story of Cathy and Heathcliff as seen through the eyes of a neighbor, Mr Lockwood, and the old nurse, Nelly Dean. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is Principal Lecturer in Education from Roehampton University and an early reading specialist. It is a beautifully produced hardback with ribbon marker.
You can see some sample pages here.

  1. Thanks for this heads-up on the new volume of my very favorite novel. It's a joy to know that younger generations will still be finding all the richness and mysteries of relationships in "Wuthering Heights." I need to find this new volume of my collection, too!
