Easy Readers
Easy Readers have a long and honourable history
spanning nearly 60 years. The brainchild of a small
Danish publishing house in the darkest years of the
Second World War, the series now comprises more
than 170 titles in six languages. From the beginning
it has brought together publishers and editors
in different countries in a unique collaboration
to make available to language students, authentic
literature in an approachable, yet unpatronising
format.
The choice of reading ranges from trusty classics
to modern social drama, from comedy to detective
stories. Each language is supervised by a specialist
editor, whose brief is to simplify without losing the
favour of the original. Footnotes are used where
needed; charming illustrations and uncramped
pages make the challenge so much easier, and the
achievement very satisfying.
