Summary: Eyewitness Classics: Dracula
Review: I have never read the oringanal Dracula but now I undoubtfully will. The story is amazing and the pictures really bring the story alive. There are so many amazing facts about what people thought of vampires that I never really considered. The book is most definitely worth reading.

Summary: Wonderful Introduction for Children to this Classic
Review: My daughter and I have been reading (and re-reading!) the DK Classics (of which "Dracula" is part of) for several years, since she was 5. These books are very colorful, with lots of illustrations and photos of genuine artifacts, maps, and people from the era in which the story is set. Side panel text gives background information about the author, pictures and story. These "additions" (which do not detract from, but only enhance the story) help the young reader (and the adult too!) put the story into context. It is like getting both a classic and a pictorial history book rolled into one! The text is easy to read. My daughter is now 9, and reading the books on her own. Not only has she developed an appreciation for classic literature, but for history as well. These are great books for parents to read with their children. I highly recommend them!
