Walt Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Illustrated Classic Edition, adapted from the film by Gina Ingoglia, illustrated by Robbin Cuddy
Isolated atop the high tower of Notre Dame Cathedral, the hunchback Quasimodo yearns to be a part of the world below. Although forbidden to leave the church by Frollo, his guardian, Quasimodo decides on Topsy-Turvy Day to venture out onto the festive streets of Paris. There he encounters a glittering world of colour and excitement, and meets the lithe Esmerelda, a gypsy dancer.
In the friendships of Esmerelda and the gallant soldier Phoebus, Quasimodo’s heart and world expand. Until the fateful day when he must choose between his loyalties ot Frollo and those to his friends. In a surprising and dramatic conclusion, Frollo’s authority is pitted against the defying power of individual strength and the belief in what is right.
Through breathtaking artwork and a cast of vivacious characters comes this endearing adaptation of Disney’s animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The poignant tale captures the beauty of the classic story and reminds us of the universal quest for human connection that is written on all our hearts.
