Stories from the Five Towns – Arnold Bennett: Busley, Hanbridge, Knype, Longshaw, Turnhill – these are the Five Towns of Arnold Bennett’s stories, set in the English Midlands in the early 1900’s. Today the Five Towns are the city of Stoke-on-Trent, but the place is still famous for its pottery… and for Arnold Bennett’s stories.
They are not famous or important people. They work in shops and factories; they fall in, and out of love; they argue and they quarrel. Sometimes they are clever and successful, and sometimes they do very stupid things. Philip has some important news to tell his mother, but he is also going to get a big surprise… Sir Jee hates his portrait, but what can he do about it? It was a present from the people of the Five Towns… At Knype station, Toby Hall suddenly decides to take the train to Turnhill, but why? Then there are John and Robert. They are brothers, they live in the same house, they eat meals together – and neither has said a single word to the other for ten years…
The Mystery of Allegra – Peter Foreman: She is five years and three months old. She wears a long white nightdress and she has blond hair and big eyes, as blue as an Italian sky in summer. Her voice is soft and sweet, and she wants Adrian to take her to Mama, who is a long way away.
Adrian is on holiday, travelling in Italy with his parents. Late one evening they find the Vila Henderson and decide to take rooms there for the night. But Adrian wakes in the middle of the night to find Allegra in his room, with her big blue eyes and cold little hands. At first Adrian is very surprised, then he remembers that Chiara Henderson said she had a little daughter. But why does Allegra say that her mother is a long way away? And Adrian’s bedroom door is locked, so how did Allegra get into his room?
Adrian does not understand. He decides to ask Allegra’s mother in the morning. But in the morning he has a very big surprise…
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain: Tom Sawyer likes adventures. When other people are sleeping in their beds, Tom Sawyer is climbing out of his bedroom window to meet his friends. He and Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn have an exciting life. They look for ghosts, they dig for treasure, and they take a boat down the Mississippi to Jackson’s Island – to swim, and fish, and sleep under the stars.
But Tom’s adventures can be dangerous, too. One night in the graveyard he and Huck Finn see three men. Who are they? And what are they doing in the graveyard, in the middle of the night? Then the boys see that one of the men is Injun Joe…
Tom and Huck never forget that night. They are afraid of Injun Joe – and they are right to be afraid. Because Injun Joe is very quick with a knife…
