Tales with a Twist (2º BAC)

Here are three enjoyable short stories from classic British writers: Saki, Roald Dahl and Thomas Hardy. In “The open window”, by Saki, young Framton Nuttel suddenly runs from his hostess’house in a great hurry. What shocking fact did he discover? A calculating antique dealer is presented with a golden opportunity to make a huge fortune in “Parson’s Pleasure”, by Roald Dahl. Will he succeed?. Thomas Hardy will capture your sympathy for young Agatha Pollin in “Destiny and a Blue Cloak”. Agatha is waiting for her fiancé to return from India and marry her. But a rich old farmer wants to marry her, too, and time is running out for her. Each of these stories has got a clever twist at the end, which might surprise you!
