Classics from some of world literature’s most renowned authors are meticulously translated for young adult readers in this series of quality hardcovers. Each title includes vibrant illustrations and a full-color section about the author, the work, and the time period in which it was penned. Argan is sick and bedridden, and spends his days complaining about his pain, eagerly awaiting the remedies prescribed for him by doctors who are more interested in profiting from his malady than they are in determining its causes. Adding insult to Argan’s injury, his daughter Angelique has fallen in love with a wholly unsuitable suitor. Fortunately, though, the family’s faithful servant Toinette is on hand, and although she isn’t a doctor, she has a solution for every problem.
