The world’s best-loved stories brought to life in the full context of their eras: The Whole Story series, with its unique documentary approach, makes the classics accessible to new generations of readers – as well as to audiences wanting to reread, rediscover, and newly appreciate these enduringly popular stories.* Complete, unabridged text as originally published. * Generously annotated with hundreds of extended captions: lively, succinct explanations of history, geography, popular culture, social customs, the animal world, architecture, literature, and science. Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white, featuring line drawings, maps, photographs, diagrams, and paintings, many of which date from when the story was written.
