This wonderful series is a quick way into a range of exciting stories, from the chilling tale of "Frankenstein", to the gripping adventure of "Treasure Island" and the powerful animal story of "Call of the Wild". Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. It is available for the first time with an accompanying audio CD. "Oliver Twist" tells the story of a poor orphan, Oliver, who survives starvation in the workhouse, life with the evil Fagin, kidnap and robbery before eventually finding happiness. Comprehension, vocabulary and language activities can be found on our web sites.
