Summary on back:

            "Everyone claimed to have seen the Opera Ghost -- the corps de ballet, the managers, staff and patrons of the Paris Opera House. But no one had spoken to him and no one knew his identity.
            "The Phantom of the Opera is the heartbreaking story of the obsessive love of a disfigured musical genius for a beautiful young singer."

Introduction:

            "Having seen a classic work of literature performed on television, on the stage or at a cinema, children are often disappointed and frustrated when they cannot read and understand the original work. With this in mind, Doris Dickens, great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens and a former teacher, has edited and abridged many well-known books."
