Mini Classics. Little Dorrit

Classics

One of the most beloved classics in a simpler and shorter version.

Amy Dorrit was born and raised inside the Marshalsea, the debtor’s prison where her father has been confined for years. Despite her poverty, Amy is kind, resilient, and deeply dignified. She takes on small jobs to help her family, never giving up hope. But sometimes, life changes when you least expect it. A mysterious inheritance and the arrival of Arthur Clennam set off a chain of events that will turn Amy’s life upside down.

This simplified retelling of Charles Dickens’s masterpiece brings themes of justice, class, and personal growth to life for children aged 7 and up.
Part of the Mini Classics series: pocket-sized, fully illustrated, and curated for early readers.

She has dealt with branded content, has been a creative producer of cartoons and live action (fiction and non-fiction), and is a PM for books and comics where necessary. And she writes. She likes baking, sewing, gardening, and in general all hobbies that keep her hands occupied and let her mind run wild. If they're things she doesn't know how to do well, it's even better, because having room for improvement puts her in a good mood.
