Love stories with a difference . There's a kiss by a fireside that was a mistake, there's a man-hating aunt by the seaside, and a gunman in Texas wanting a fight. There's a white heron flying over a forest, and a messenger running between two benches in a park. And of course, there's a girl who meets a boy .These love stories are by US writers Kate Chopin, Stephen Crane, Sarah Orne Jewett, O. Henry, and Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (author of the famous Anne of Green Gables). Reading a complete story in English gives students a great sense of achievement - and encourages them to read more. The Oxford Bookworms Library offers a variety of titles.
The books are graded at six vocabulary levels ranging from 250 words (Starter) to 2,500 (Advanced).
