Les Miserables

A reformed convict, a policeman bent on revenge and a lonely orphan come together in one of the great novels of the nineteenth century. Lives change for the better - or for the worse - against the turmoil of revolutionary France. Les Miserables is in Series Three of Usborne Young Reading, which combines good stories with easy reading text. Usborne Young Reading has been developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, formerly Principal Lecturer at the University of Roehampton. Retold by Mary Sebag-Montefiore.
