The Hunchback of Notre Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris) is an 1831 French novel written by Victor Hugo. His mastery of detail, especially in period dress and architecture, makes turbulent medieval Paris appear real-sometimes frighteningly so. Dramatically framing the text are Slavin's (Extra! Extra! The Who, What, Where, When and Why of Newspapers) subtly hued, skillfully composed paintings. The court had made him that way."" Still, the deeper implications of the story will likely be lost on children. The irony in Hugo's novel is preserved here, as when Wynne-Jones draws a delicious parallel between church and state: Quasimodo is deaf because ""the bells of the church had made him that way"" the judge who sentences the deformed man to a flogging ""is as deaf as Quasimodo. Although the narrative is fluent and conversational, children may need guidance through some of the more challenging vocabulary and occasional wordy passages. Wynne-Jones (Some of the Kinder Planets) makes no attempt to soften the harsh story of the hideously deformed, big-hearted Quasimodo, who escapes ridicule only in the sanctuary of the cathedral. Children who have had a taste of Hugo's 18th-century epic through the animated film may find this version, with its absence of song, rather sobering.
