Dickens's classic story, now vividly illustrated and faithfully retold in graphic-novel form

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Those famous words begin one of the most powerful novels ever written. With its sweeping historical narrative, A Tale of Two Cities brings to life the turmoil and violence of the French Revolution--and this graphic novel faithfully captures the spirit of the original work.

In addition to the novel, the book includes an author bio, a bibliography of work on Dickens, a timeline and key individuals in the French Revolution, a short summary of the true story behind Dickens's fictionalized version, and an index.
