Enter the great cathedral. Meet the bell-ringer. Discover a story of mercy that has moved readers for nearly two hundred years.
Rory Noelle's rhyming retelling of Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris brings medieval Paris to life for the youngest readers — from the towering bells that Quasimodo calls home, to lively Esmeralda dancing with her goat Djali in the square, to the single act of kindness that changes everything. Each of the twenty pages pairs a verse from the story with a beautiful original illustration, making The Hunchback of Notre-Dame an enchanting and tender first introduction to one of literature's most beloved classics — Hugo's true story.
A perfect gift for every little wanderer — and the literary parents and grandparents who love them.
