About this title

Synopsis:

This is Wood''s retelling of a feline version of Gaston Leroux''s classic story The Phantom of the Opera. Peters Day provides atmospheric illustrations of Paris and the grand Opera House.'

From School Library Journal:

Gr 2-5-This retelling has a feline cast that serves as an elegant introduction to Gaston Leroux's timeless romance and the extremely popular musical it inspired. The story of the talented ingenue, Christine; her lover, Raoul; and the tormented phantom is told in four acts. Economical, graceful prose relates the tale in an abbreviated yet coherent fashion. A flowing narrative style authentically re-creates the drama, mystery, and magic surrounding the Byzantine Paris Opera House and those who walk its corridors. Illustrations executed in a dark, lush palette with a strong sense of line are reminiscent of certain famous New Yorker cartoons in their sophistication and sensibilities. An older read-aloud, this book could be used by teachers as part of an arts curriculum or by parents wishing to introduce their children to musical theater. It also succeeds as an exciting rendition of a classic work of fiction.

Store Description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley.
