Uncle Tom's Cabin

Colour Illustrated, Formatted for E-Readers

Harriet Beecher Stowe

HMDS printing press

[kindle ebook]

Fantastic bravely written book. The story is set in about early 1850's USA and is based on the lives of slaves and specifically three runaways. In short it is one long fascinating intellectual argument against slavery. The story is beautifully written with many wonderful lovely characters and a sometimes gripping plot. I highly recommend this book.

As far as the illustrations go, I have a kindle eReader that cannot show colour pictures. The pictures were in black and white and far too small to really see. Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing is good enough to not need illustrations.

4/5
