Publisher's Synopsis
Each volume of Novels for Students contains easily accessible and content-rich discussions of the literary and historical background of 12 to 15 works from various cultures and time periods. Each novel included in this new resource was specially chosen by an advisory panel of teachers and librarians -- experts who have helped us define the information needs of students and ensure the age-appropriateness of this references content.
Each volume (beginning with volume 32) will include two Literature to Film entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays/novels not only diversify the study of plays/novels but support alternate learning styles, media literacy, and film studies curricula as well.
Here are some of the novels they will find: The Bonesetters Daughter by Amy Tan, Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns, Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, and When Rain Clouds Gather by Bessie Head.Call your Sales Rep for details.PIM10-JUN-1801
