Oxford Bookworms Library Level 3: The Three Strangers And Other Stories

Classics, modern fiction, non-fiction and more. Written for secondary and adult students the Oxford Bookworms Library has seven reading levels from A1-C1 of the CEFR. On a stormy winter night, a stranger knocks at the door of a shepherd's cottage. He is cold and hungry, and wants to get out of the rain. He is welcomed inside, but he does not give his name or his business. Who is he, and where has he come from? And he is only the first visitor to call at thecottage thatnight... In these three short stories, Thomas Hardy gives us pictures of the lives of shepherds and hangmen, dukes and teachers. But rich or poor, young or old, they all have the same feelings of fear, hope, love, jealousy... CEFR B1 Word count 11,680"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of story."  David R. Hill, Director of the Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading.
