Easy-English?
"easy" defined:
eas•y
ˈēzē/
adjective
1. achieved without great effort; presenting few difficulties.
"an easy way of retrieving information"
synonyms: uncomplicated, undemanding, unchallenging,
effortless, painless, trouble-free, facile, simple, straightforward.
Many classics of English literature were written in styles of English not commonly used today, and even for those who speak and read modern English fluently the archaic styles, wording and phrases can be challenging.
All the more so for those who are late to literacy or those reading English as a second language.
The Easy-English Classics series bridges that gap by re-writing the classics in modern-day English for modern-day English readers in an easy-going style that lets the reader enjoy the great Conan Doyle stories without the archaic language.

- COMPLETED - (To be edited.)

As people start disappearing all around them, it's up to them to solve the case because if they don't - they're next. #442 in Mystery/Thriller, 6th Feb 2016! Note: My story comes under more than one Wattpad category but I think that Mystery/Thriller is a better way to summarise the plot rather than just placing this work under the broad arm of Fanfiction. This is why I would like this work classed as a Mystery/ Thriller. Sorry if you think this is in the wrong category.Complete
