The Brontë Story - With Audio Level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library by Tim Vicary Pdf

A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. This version includes an audio book: listen to the story as you read. Retold for Learners of English by Tim Vicary. On a September day in 1821, in the church of a Yorkshire village, a man and six children stood around a grave. They were burying a woman: the man’s wife, the children’s mother. The children were all very young, and within a few years the two oldest were dead, too. Close to the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors, the father brought up his young family. Who had heard of the Brontës of Haworth then? Branwell died while he was still a young man, but the three sisters who were left had an extraordinary gift. They could write marvellous stories – Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall . . . But Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë did not live to grow old or to enjoy their fame. Only their father was left, alone with his memories.

The Railway Children by E. Nesbit Pdf

An all-time children's classic, The Railway Children, follows the adventures of three siblings after they move from London to the British countryside and discover the wonders of a railway behind their new home. After their father is accused of being a spy and mysteriously disappears, Roberta (Bobbie), Peter and Phyllis move to Three Chimney's Cottage out in the country. While their mother spends most of her time writing to earn their living, the children occupy themselves with the railway and their new friends: the station porter Mr Perks and the Old Gentleman, who rides the train every morning. After a handful of adventures and challenges, including some close scrapes and a feast of colourful characters, the children get closer to solving the mystery of their missing father and reuniting their family. But will they be able to prove their father's innocence? Adored by previous generations, E. Nesbit's delightful children's novel has stood the test of time. Originally published over 100 years ago, The Railway Children continues to be a charming story of sibling rivalry, courage and kindness. It is the perfect choice for young readers looking to build a library of their own or those looking to revisit the magic of their childhood favourites.
