Twisters: Stories Before 1914

Notes and questions are provided at the beginning of each story to help guide the student's reading. A programme of study provides practice in the skills required at Key Stage 3. This gripping collection of short stories from a wide variety of cultures and different eras ranges from Chaucer's The Pardoner's Tale to Maupassant's The Necklace; and from The Monkey's Paw which makes wishes come true to the Russian folk tale where gypsies bring a man back from the deal.
