Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 1 Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Retold by Jennifer Bassett

STAGE 1 - Crime & Mystery

Horseracing is the sport of kings, perhaps because racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win races, they can make a lot of money too - money for the owners, for the trainers, and for the people who put bets on them to win.

Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One night he disappears from his stables, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do they do?

They write to 221B Baker Street, London, of course - to ask for the help of the great detective, Sherlock Holmes.

How can students improve their English without extra class time?

By reading a lot, at a comfortable level, with titles that really interest them.

When reading for pleasure, you should always read at a language level that is appropriate for you. Because of this, Oxford Bookworms are written to a carefully designed language syllabus.

And this attention to detail shows - Oxford Bookworms are well known for their extremely reliable grading, which allows you to find the right book, no matter what your level. Being able to read fluently gives your language a lot of power and it's extremely motivating.

But writing to a strict syllabus doesn't mean that Oxford Bookworms are boring - far from it! All our authors are expert story-tellers, and are skilled at writing excellent readers for language learners. We have the awards to prove it. Or you can pick up any Bookworm to see for yourself...

You have over 200 titles to choose from ... classic, modern fiction, non-fiction, and plays.
