Once classics like this were only written for academic readers who understood all those long words that a lot of us might not know or understand.
So for those readers who might have missed out on reading such classics as Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dicken's A Christmas Carol and Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, thank Barrington Stoke for creating dyslexia friendly versions of them that are easy to read and comes with other dyslexia-friendly additions making it a super readable edition.
