Why did you choose this?
Is the font really small in this edition? Wanting to purchase for a grandpa to read
I'd say it's pretty normal, probably about 12 pt font size. Definitely not large though.
I needed a basic unabridged text that fit my budget. The cover art looks appealing and that helps draw children into a more difficult classic novel.
great classic, part of the Ambleside Online curriculum book list
6th grade literature.
