Features: "Grub" is a premium offering jointly presented by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Oxford University Press for English learners. "Grub" is a rather adorable image in English. Imagine such a "grub," utterly immersed in books, tirelessly chewing on letters. Now, this "grub" has crossed the seas and landed gracefully in the hands of Chinese English learners. "Grub" will first give you a start, even if you currently have only a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works. The "grub" will also remind you with its delicate chirping: to persevere in reading, to read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize: you have transformed like a caterpillar into a butterfly, ready to take flight!
Rudolph Larsonndil is young and wealthy, born into a historic British family, yet he has the deep red hair and long, straight nose characteristic of the Luritania royal family—a result of a small family "accident" many years ago. Rudolph decides to attend the coronation ceremony of the King of Luritania. He arrives in Zenda City and wanders through the forest. The next morning, he finds himself unexpectedly caught in a bizarre adventure. Together with his new friends, Captain Sapt and Fritz, he devises a plan to rescue the captives in Zenda Castle. Soon, he gets entangled with the king's mortal enemy, Black Michael, and falls in love with the beautiful Princess Febrilia, the king's cousin. Then, the king... but who is the true king of Luritania?
