The authors whose work appears in this text include O. Henry, Oscar Wilde, George Orwell, Mona Gardner, James Thurber, Saki, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Colette, Alphonse Daudet, and Kate Chopin.
Adventures in Literature includes a focus on vocabulary and a review of grammar.
Each reading is accompanied by:
