That's certainly an alternative. I was thinking more, though, of a version that would be appropriate for children to read on their own.
Children's editions of classics are pretty common, especially when a book contains material that a child may find upsetting. Eg, there's a "Junior Edition" of Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days"
here at PG.
