What Is the Story of Dracula?

My girls love to read it.

I enjoyed the FRANKENSTEIN book so much I decided to buy this one as well.I know that "What Is the Story of Dracula?" is geared to the younger-crowd, Which I an not. The illustrations and research that these books go through make them an easy-read for those of us in our senior-years.I read this one in a little under two hours, but, the phone kept ringing-off-the-hook.Buy it for a youngster, and READ it first!Highly recommended!

Nice book. Thanks.

Some of the entries are a little graphic for very young kids, but solid very basic intro to the myths.

I love it

A fascinating, easy-to-read account of a real life person in history that Bram Stoker based his famous story on. Dracula means "son of Dracul" and has two meanings: devil or dragon in the language of a small village of Wallachia, Romania. Stoker had grown up with stories of zombies and the living dead as a boy in rural Ireland, and he was fascinated by tales of folklore. The fact that Stoker made Dracula a Count gave his title character access available to uncommon wealth, castles and land. Dracula could easily move about the country without raising any questions. Stoker's story was not a huge hit in his lifetime, but many versions of Dracula have made the story live on after his death, becoming more famous on stage, in books and on film.Considered the most famous version is the performance by Bela Lugosi in 1931. Lugosi stands as the epitome of the character. Today, Dracula and vampires are still popular culture. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," books by Anne Rice, and the "Twilight" series are proof that Count Dracula and Stoker's legacy lives on.Highly recommended for reluctant readers, chapter book readers, emerging readers, ELL, and anyone who loves the horror genre and vampires. Grade 5 and up.See all my reviews at Young Adult Books What We're Reading Now
