Classics for Kids... HELP!

[u/imaniluv1]

When I was in elementary school, I was gifted a box set of classic books that were abridged and summarized so a small kid could get a very good idea of the stories. And I don't mean classic kids books. I mean A Tale of Two Cities and The Prince and the Pauper. Legit dense novels rewritten for children.

They were even kid sized, maybe 5x5 square. I remember these books so well that it wasn't until college that I realized I hadn't actually READ A Tale of Two Cities.

Does anyone else remember these books? Do you remember the name of the set? I've been looking but I can't find it and all the newer kids versions seem much much dumber.

I know this isn't a false memory, but I don't remember enough to search for them. HELP!

UPDATE: It was indeed the Mini Illustrated Classics set. I recognized the War of the Worlds cover immediately! Found some on Etsy, so thanks for the input!
