N2  - Nine of the world's best-known stories and books have been reduced, like slowly simmered cherries, to tart and tasty mouthfuls. Lighthearted verse turns Moby Dick into a simple nursery song. Riotous images transform poor Jane Eyre's ordeal into a whirlwind adventure. Outrageous colour makes even gloomy Hamlet see like fun. These and other works have been remade from dense duties into delightful ditties by the wicked quill and sly brush of Scott Nash
