Phunkidz, if you've been reading this blog for a while you know that I'm always intrigued when someone does something clever. A twist on an old idea or something old dressed up as something new always piques my interest. Penguin books has released six "books" in interesting formats that are based on older books: a Google maps mashup, a girl's and her parents blogs, an interactive fairy tale, a live chat session, a series of infographs, and an adventure game like book coming on April 22nd.These are loosely based on the The Thirty-Nine Steps
by John Buchan, The Haunted Doll's House
by M R James, Fairy Tales
by Hans Christian Anderson, Therese Raquin
by Emile Zola, Hard Times
by Charles Dickens, and Tales from the Thousand and One Nights
. No doubt Penguin would like to boost sales of their classics--if you find the unusual versions interesting consider purchasing a book from Penguin.
