The
Jane Eyre comic adaptation written by Fiona MacDonald and illustrated by Penko Gelev, first published in 2009 has now been republished by Salariya Books. Unexcusably, the name of Charlotte Brontë is misspelled on the cover, no less.

Widely considered to be one of the greatest novels in the English language, Charlotte Brontë’s semi-autobiographical epic masterpiece is the story of a strong-willed woman growing up in 19th Century England. This engaging story is presented as an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to Brontë’s original text. Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading experience. The highly visual nature of comic book storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for young readers who’re challenged or intimidated by reading to improve their literacy skills.
