There’s

nothing as

contemporary

as a classic

Better than anyone, the great authors of world literature know how

to relate to our modern daily life. They understand the challenges

we face every day, and help us come up with the solutions to

overcome them.

The Enormous Turnip

Retold by Ruth Hobart

The Gingerbread Man

Jennifer Gascoigne

Every night, Dorothy delivers

dreams – to adults, children and

even pets. Usually everyone

gets the dream they want, but

one dark night Dorothy can’t

see, and she delivers the wrong

dreams… But in this delightful,

original tale everything ends

happily as a chorus of cats

comes to the rescue!

A farmer plants a turnip seed

and overnight it grows into an

enormous turnip! But, even

though he and his family pull and

pull, they can’t pull the turnip

out of the ground. Read how,

in this retelling of a delightful

tale, a little mouse makes a big

difference, and everyone enjoys

an enormous turnip meal.

One day Grandma makes a

gingerbread man for tea but,

when he is cooked, he jumps

off the table and runs away.

He doesn’t want to be eaten!

Grandma, Grandpa and Billy and

all the animals he passes try

to catch him, but he runs too

fast for them. Unfortunately,

he doesn’t know how to swim!

A very curious star wants to

know what the sun is like. When

the moon calls the stars to go

to bed, she hides under a cloud

and waits. Little by little the

sun comes out and a world of

colourful things appears. The star

loves what she sees and every

time she discovers a new colour

she sings a magic song because

she wants to become coloured.

Nothing seems to change, but

in the end the star gets a great

surprise.

Two children are playing with

their sheep and the dog. Behind

the clouds the wind and the sun

are having an argument. The

wind thinks he’s strong, but the

sun thinks he’s stronger. When

they see the children with their

coats on they decide to compete

to take their coats off. The wind

blows and blows.

A class of young South African

schoolchildren go on a trip

to a safari park. They have

been looking forward to it and

they can hardly contain their

enthusiasm, so their teacher has

to be very patient! They have

a lot of laughs and a lot of fun,

but they also manage to learn

something!

This little duckling is different

from the other ducklings.

Everyone laughs at him, animals

and humans alike, and only his

mum loves him. But when spring

comes, he sees his reflection in

the water, and… what a change

has taken place!

Teachers are often rather strange

people, particularly English

teachers! They repeat the same

words and ask children to say

and do absurd things. This

teacher, however, is not just a bit

strange, he is really mad... raving

mad!

By the end of the story children

will realise that a mad teacher

can be better than a sane and

boring one!

Maggie is very poor and has little

to eat, but fortunately she meets

an old woman that gives her a

magic pot. All Maggie needs to

do is to say special words and

the pot cooks a delicious soup.

When Maggie and her mum are

hungry, they can have soup, a lot

of soup! One day, while Maggie is

out, something goes wrong. The

magic pot cooks and cooks and

it doesn’t stop. The soup goes all

over the kitchen, the house, the

garden! Will Maggie arrive in time

and stop the pot?

The four little clown fish just

love swimming and playing,

although they are afraid of three

particularly big, bad fish! But

help is at hand in the shape of

Miss Grace Green. This delightful

story also shows us how life is

so much better when we live

particularly if she has magic

powers!

Poor Cinderella! She has to do all

thanks to a fairy godmother –

like. When she goes up she falls

in love with a human. What will

the little mermaid have to do to

above with the man she loves?

It’s a lovely summer day. Max

and Maggie decide to go and

visit the castle on the hill near

he wants to go.

When they are in the castle lots

of strange things happen! First

it’s only Max who sees funny

faces and people moving in

the pictures on the walls but

then Maggie starts feeling a bit

worried, too.

Bullies at school pick on Bobo,

In three stories three characters

teach us lessons: the tortoise

‘slowly but surely’ wins the race;

the mouse becomes a ‘great little

friend’ to the mighty lion; the

country mouse prefers the quiet

life back home to the luxury –

and dangers – of the town.

Christmas Fun captures that

typically ‘English’ Christmas

atmosphere. Father Christmas

introduces the children to

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

and his team. He organises an

exciting football match between

the Reindeer Rangers and the

Polar Bears United football clubs.

This highly-entertaining book,

filled with songs, games and

a wide variety of learning and

manual activities, will create

a wonderful Christmas feeling

in and outside the classroom.

This is the ‘ordinary’ life of Count

Dracula, his wife Felicia, their

three children, Adam, Eve and

Brian, and their butler, Roman

Blenski.

Some festivals are popular all

over the world. Festivals! tells

children how Christmas, Easter,

Halloween and other festivities

are celebrated in many countries

of the world.

The young readers are encouraged

to use manual skills to colour in,

cut out, glue on and create fun

decorations and greetings cards.

Nasreddin does and says some

strange things. Why does he look

for his key in the garden when he

lost it in the house? Why does

he weigh his cat? Why does he

invite a beggar onto his roof? But

perhaps Nasreddin is cleverer

than we first think! Read this

collection of ten amusing stories

and decide!

Snow White’s life is in danger

when her father marries again

and his new wife, Queen Bella,

becomes terribly jealous of

Snow White’s beauty. But Queen

Bella’s plans fail, and Snow White

finds safety at the cottage of the

seven dwarfs before becoming

reunited with her father.

How can a health-freak bogey

boy and a junk-freak human

boy put up with living in their

demanding families? By the

way, which one of them is the

monster?

A lively mystery story involving a

magician called Zed, some daring

schoolchildren and a crime to

be solved. Readers follow the

adventure, read the clues and

find out how the friends uncover

the mystery.

It’s all thanks to a bizarre

bet made by two eccentric

gentlemen.

Frankenstein

In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley tells the story of a scientist’s

attempt to create a new noble species, an experiment which

instead produces a monster.

It is remarkable that such a young person (Shelley was not yet

twenty when she completed the book) should have conceived a

work that has acquired myth-like status. Not only can Mary

Shelley be considered the creator of a new literary genre, science

fiction, but her novel has had an immense influence on many

subsequent writers, as well as providing the subject for numerous

dramatisations, including film and television adaptations.

The Great

The Great Gatsby, rightfully considered Fitzgerald’s masterpiece,

is a superb depiction of the Jazz Age which offers the most

profound commentary in fiction on the American Dream. With

fresh dramatic power, Fitzgerald examines the decay of idealism,

innocence and moral value in the decade following World War

One and creates a figure of mythic stature in his portrait of Jay

Gatsby. The magical suggestiveness of style gives the novel its

classic quality.

Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the story of a man with a terrible

secret. Dorian Gray lives a double life: a public life in elegant

high society and a life of secret sin in the most degraded slums

of Victorian London.

Received with outrage by the critics on its publication in 1890,

The Picture of Dorian Gray expresses the essence of aestheticism

and fin de siècle decadence in the pure English of the great prose

stylist Oscar Wilde.

Completed at the age of twenty-five, Dubliners is Joyce’s

unsentimental look at the provincial city he left as a young man

but maintained would always be engraved upon his heart.

Richly symbolic yet firmly realistic in style, these short stories

paint a compassionate and ironic portrait of the city Joyce saw

as ‘the centre of paralysis’.

Stories

The tales in this volume, including Wilde’s first published short

story, ‘The Canterville Ghost’, will give readers a taste of his

humour, his sympathy for those who suffer and his wisdom

about life. We can appreciate the irony of ‘The Nightingale and

the Rose’, the wit and satire of ‘The Remarkable Rocket’ and the

contrast between beauty and the grotesque in ‘The Birthday of the

Infanta’. Though Wilde told stories like the ‘The Happy Prince’

and ‘The Selfish Giant’ to his young sons, they have proved

popular with readers of all ages – with all those who, as the

author wrote, have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy.

Extensive biographical and critical introduction

Activities on comprehension, text analysis and Wilde’s

language and style

READING CLASSICS The Strange Case of

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

and other stories

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) is one of the most famous stories

in nineteenth century European literature. Stevenson’s tale

contains a masterful analysis of moral and solid Victorian

society and the theme of dualism between the good and evil

present in human nature.

The two short stories that are included in this volume,

‘Markheim’ and ‘The Body Snatcher’, are also concerned with

the theme of ‘doubleness’.

In-depth biographical and critical introduction

Wide variety of exercises allowing students to make

a thorough analytical study of the book
