A stunning, dramatic version of the classic film, King Kong.

""It was Beauty that killed the Beast""

King Kong is a giant gorilla, a massive monster of an ape who lives on a remote island. The mighty beast falls for a beautiful girl, Ann Darrow, and desperate to have her he finds himself lured into captivity. He is brought to civilisation and put on show, but when he sees Ann he breaks his heavy chains and begins to wreak havoc on the streets of New York . . .

Reviews for King Kong

Wonderful * Sunday Telegraph * Browne creates an understanding for the creature's emotions. Without spectacular cinematic effects, the themes of the story are much more apparent * TES * A stunningly illustrated picture book that is just right for secondary school ages . . . With wit and verve in the artwork this is a winner * The School Librarian *
