Description

"It was Beauty that killed the Beast"

King Kong is a giant gorilla, a massive monster of an ape who lives on a remote island. The mighty beast falls for a beautiful girl, Ann Darrow, and desperate to have her he finds himself lured into captivity. He is brought to civilisation and put on show, but when he sees Ann he breaks his heavy chains and begins to wreak havoc on the streets of New York . . .

The enthralling story of King Kong involves battles with dinosaurs, daring rescues and incredible escapes - endless thrills lead up to one of the most famous climaxes of all time!



A stunning, dramatic version of the classic film, King Kong.

Reviews
Wonderful * Sunday Telegraph *
Browne creates an understanding for the creature's emotions. Without spectacular cinematic effects, the themes of the story are much more apparent * TES *
A stunningly illustrated picture book that is just right for secondary school ages . . . With wit and verve in the artwork this is a winner * The School Librarian *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
