Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore. New Method Supplementary Reader Stage 4This is yet another adaptation of all-time classic by R. D. Blackmore. What is worth mentioning however is that the adaptation was made by another classic, of teaching English to foreigners, Michael Philip West (1888–1973). As a colonial educator in Bengal for a period of twenty years, he developed many original insights into problems of teaching English ‘in difficult circumstances’ and – on this basis – became a prolific writer of textbooks for foreign students during the late 1920s and 1930s. The book is illustrated and supplied with detailed questions aimed at confirming students' understanding of the story. This edition was published in the USSR in 1977.

The Prince and the Pauper (annotated)
Tom Canty and Edward Tudor could have been identical twins. Their birthdays match, their faces match, but there the likeness stops. For Edward is a prince, heir to King Henry VIII, whilst Tom is a miserable pauper. But when fate intervenes, Edward is thrown out of the palace in rags, leaving ignorant Tom to play the part of a royal prince. Even those who have never read the novel will be familiar with Twain's classic tale of mistaken identity: at once an adventure story and a fantasy of timeless appeal.
