Spanning the French and Indian war of the 18th century, James Fenimore Cooper's classic epic features bravery, compassion and ultimately tragedy. Forces at war, a brave rescue attempt and an untimely massacre converge to create a stunning masterpiece of classic fiction.
Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this stirring tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling, and running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading experience.
