Puffin Modern Classics
The "Puffin Modern Classics" series is a celebrated collection of timeless children's literature published by Puffin Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. This series aims to introduce young readers to classic stories that have stood the test of time, reimagining them for a new generation. The series features a wide variety of titles, including classics from various genres, such as adventure, fantasy, realism, and historical fiction and encompasses works by renowned authors. While retaining the essence of the original works, the Puffin Modern Classics often feature updated illustrations, introductions, and sometimes new afterwords to provide context for contemporary readers. This approach helps bridge the gap between past and present, making the stories more accessible to today's readers. The series is primarily aimed at children aged 8 and older.
