Europress Software released in May 1995 the first of what they hope will be a series of children's classics.

The use of such a fonnat for delivering children's classics is also examined in tenns of its advantages and disadvantages. A list of suggestions for future products, both in tenns of content and suitable titles is also included. 2 ACKNO~I£D6EMENTS I wish to thank Mr. Derek Meakin of Europress Software for financing the testing of the product and providing the software, illustrations and company information; Dr. Cliff McKnight my supervisor without whom this project would not have been developed and seen the light of day, Mrs. S.
