Adaptations such as this one are why I'm not a fan of adaptations. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza appear everywhere in literature, so now my kids have some idea what kind of characters they are. But there were many modern phrases (Sancho worried he would be fried like a potato chip??). Worse, the adapter felt the need to insult our intelligence by adding explanations of Cervantes' subtle humor and irony within the text itself.
The Hound of the Baskervilles: From the Story by Arthur Conan Doyle (Usborne classics) by Arthur Conan Doyle
So much better than most modern thrillers who rely on shocking murders and serial killers, instead of actual detective work.
Very logical and easy to follow. Actual pretty fun to read, because you get to see a seemingly hard case unravelled so easily :)
I should read more Sherlock Holmes.
