An adapted and illustrated edition of the Russian classic, at an easy-to-read level for all ages!

Pierre is nothing like his confident, handsome friend Andrei. He is awkward and shy - and when his father dies and leaves Pierre a vast fortune, suddenly very popular. As war rages on the edges of Moscow and the charming young Natasha catches the eye of both friends, Pierre must decide what he wants and who he is.

Can Pierre finally find happiness, and will Natasha decide where her heart truly lies?

Industry Reviews

This adaption made the story accessible and easy to follow as an adult and it was clear that complex concepts were covered in simple and clear language.

-- Laun R, Podcaster

Written in a simple manner, this adaptation of the book would be easy to read on a lexical level, and could be offered to Key Stage 2 children to extend their literary range. It is a great way into encouraging children to read more classic texts but at their level.

-- Rebecca Lennon, Teacher

I'm very impressed because I never thought of War & Peace being accessible for children- it's done very well with lovely illustrations without being patronising.

-- Rebecca Wright, Teacher

I feel like classics can be quite scary, but everyone should have the opportunity to read classic literature like War and Peace without feeling overwhelmed and daunted and I'm so glad this is becoming possible.

-- Kira Critchlow, Blogger

This book was really good. The illustrations were insanely pretty and it was so easy to understand giving it is a classic. The use of language was so simple.

-- Asena A, Book Reviewer
