Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 6 A Passage To India
E. M. Forster
STAGE 6 - Classics
A mysterious incident at the Marabar Caves, involving Adela Quested, newly arrived from England, and Dr Aziz, an Indian doctor, leads to a drama that divides the British and Indian communities in anger, distrust, and fear.
Forsters great novel brings to life all the dangers and misunderstandings of colonialism but, as Forster himself wrote, the story is about something wider than politics, about the search of the human race for a more lasting home, about the universe as
embodied
in the Indian earth and the Indian sky, about the horror lurking in the Marabar Caves...

Evelyn Waugh
Retold by Clare West
STAGE 6 - Human Interest
After a wild, drunken party, Paul Pennyfeather is forced to leave Oxford and begin a new life out in the wide world. His experiences take him from a boys' private school in Wales, where he meets some rather strange people, to a life of luxury in a grand country house and the Ritz Hotel, and then to seven years' hard labour in prison. Where will it all end?
The black humour of this story about English society in the 1920s is as fresh today as it was when the
novel was
first written.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 6 The Joy Luck Club
Amy Tan
Retold by Clare West
STAGE 6 - Human Interest
There are so many things that a mother wishes to teach her daughter. How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to keep hoping, when hope is your only joy. How to laugh for ever.
This is the story of four mothers and their daughters - Chinese-American women, the mothers born in China, and the daughters born in America. Through their eyes we see life in pre-Revolutionary China, and life in downtown San Francisco; women struggling to find a cultural
identity that can
include a past and a future half a world apart.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 6 Meteor and Other Stories
John Wyndham
Retold by Patrick Nobes
STAGE 6 - Fantasy & Horror
It was just a smooth round metal ball, less than a metre in diameter. Although it was still hot from its journey through the huge nothingness of space, it looked quite harmless. But what was it, exactly? A meteor, perhaps - just one of those pieces of rock from outer space that occasionally fall down on to the planet Earth. But meteors don't usually make strange hissing sounds . . .
In this collection of four of his famous science-fiction stories, John
Wyndham creates
visions of the future that make us think carefully about the way we live now.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 6 Cold Comfort Farm
Stella Gibbons
Retold by Clare West
STAGE 6 - Human Interest
The farm lies in the shadow of a hill, and the farmyard rarely sees the sun, even in summer, when the sukebind hangs heavy in the branches. Here live the Starkadders - Aunt Ada Doom, Judith, Amos, Seth, Reuben, Elfine... They lead messy, untidy lives, full of dark thoughts, moody silences, and sudden noisy quarrels.
That is, until their attractive young cousin arrives from London. Neat, sensible, efficient, Flora Poste cannot bear messes
(they are so
uncivilized). She begins to tidy up the Starkadders' lives at once . . .
