Oxford Bookworms offer students at all levels the opportunity to extend their reading and appreciation of English. There are six stages, taking students from elementary to advanced level. At the lower stages, many of the texts have been specially written for the series, to provide elementary and lower-intermediate students with an introduction to real reading in English. At the higher stages, most of the books have been adapted from works originally published for native speakers.
This was a little tough to get through. Luckily it was read by one of my favorite readers (Simon Vance), and I really liked the banter of Sir Henry.
The plot is rather bizarre, but the dialogue is fabulous. Lots of great lines in this book.
