Chapter One.
The fact that someone actually came up with the idea of condensing 1984 into twenty eight child-friendly pages in itself is something to be marveled at. Seriously, this is more kinds of special than I can count.
From the use of then in place of than and know in place of no right up to the illustrations, lovingly (I'm sure) borrowed from a number of sources, including stills from the movie, George Orwell's 1984 Adapted for Children is absolutely delightful.
If you want to check it out (and I hightly recommend it), you can read the first ten pages here.
p.s. Hopefully, I haven't completely bunged my p's (and other various letters) and this all works the way it's meant to ;)
