I'm for abridged versions; I grew up on them and they fueled my love for reading. And when I was old enough, I sought out the unabridged versions, and ended up liking them even more than the abridged versions because I realised that they really left a lot of stuff out, and changed certain parts to boot. It was like watching a movie and seeing all the changes, but it was fun, in a way.
The good thing about abridged versions is that at least they introduce the classics to those of a younger age, and encourages them to read the full versions when they are older if they like the plot, which I think is a great idea.
