I did not understand the young book-reader of this modern day. They were different from us. One day I met a young reader who said to me his experience of reading retold series. He said after reading the ‘retold version’ of the famous novel, he had low impression on the story. He thought that the story was uninteresting. There was no particular fact he found in the story. He also said that before he read this ‘retold version’, he thought that Charles Dickens was a very remarkable writer as the scholar praised. But after reading it’s retold, he remarked that Charles Dickens was not such a great writer to him. So, he believed that he did not need to read its original. This retold version is enough for him. I was amazed for what he remarked. I asked him which of ‘retold version’ he talked about. He replied, ‘Great Expectation.’ Oh! I was surprised to hear that! After he read the retold of ‘Great Expectation’, he felt that it was just a usual story as everybody could write. For him, the retold version could not arouse his curiosity or his interest to read the original. I had never thought like him before. It was a very amazing statement that I had ever seen. I did not know how to explain. If my grandparents were still alive, what would they say to him when they heard his unhappy remark on their favorite writer, Charles Dickens!
