Gr. 9-12. Teens studying the classics in school will be delighted by this accessible selection of illustrated stories from classic masters, ranging from Kipling to Dumas. Focusing on adventure stories and poems, Pomplun offers a variety of both storytelling and illustration. A sampling includes Sax Rohmer's "In the Valley of the Sorceress," about an archaeologist unearthing an Egyptian tomb,^B with stark, stylized, high-contrast black-and-white art by J. B. Bonivert, and "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," presented as a humorous poetic ode to the Wild West. As a bonus, Pomplun includes short biographies of the writers and artists. A good suggestion for teens having a hard time getting into the classics. Tina Coleman
