      Arnold Bennett is famous for his stories about the Five Towns and the people who live there. They look and sound just like other people, and, like all of us, sometimes they do some very strange things. There's Sir Jee, who is a rich businessman. So why is he making a plan with a burglar? Then there is Toby Hall. Why does he decide to visit Number 11 Child Row, and who does he find there? And then there are the Hessian brothers and Annie Emery - and the little problem of twelve thousand pounds.--Quatrième de couverture

      Every town should have a 'card' - someone who gets talked about, someone who does mad and wonderful things, someone who makes you laugh. Bursley in the Five Towns has a 'card': Edward Henry Machin (Denry for short). Denry begins life in a poor little house where the rent is twenty-three pence a week. But before he's thirty, he's made a lot of money, and had more adventures than you and I have had hot dinners. The town of Bursley never stops talking about him. Whatever will young Denry do next?

    • [Penguin Readers Level 1] Mark Twain called his 1876 novel a "hymn to boyhood," and it remains an archetypal vision of small-town America before the Civil War. Readers of all ages delight in its humorous narrative voice, as mischievous and good-hearted as Tom Sawyer himself. This inexpensive hardcover edition is the only version that features the endearing illustrations from the original publication.
