Manuscript Monday: Abridged Classics

On this weeks Manuscript Monday Meredith recommends Abridged Classics by John Atkinson.

This is a coffee table book for bibliophiles that had me laughing out loud in the library. This book summarizes classic novels in one or two sentences, with one or two illustrations. Funny whether or not you’ve read the book in question, and also doubles as a list of old books you might want to read.

Need an example?

“The Handmaid’s Tale

Margaret Atwood.

An Oppressive patriarchy controls women’s bodies. This book is also about that.”
