Features: A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge is a grumpy, miserable, and miserly old man. When his nephew visits him on Christmas Eve and wishes him a Merry Christmas, Scrooge is not at all happy. "Bah! Humbug!" he says. "Christmas is humbug! The tongues of all who go about saying 'Merry Christmas' should be cut out. Yes, he will!" Oh! By the way, Scrooge is a mean and miserly person. His employee Bob Cratchit can only earn 15 shillings a week and can only work in a small and cold office, where the fire is so small that it doesn't even warm his toes. But on that Christmas Eve, the ghost of Scrooge's long-dead business partner Jacob Marley visits him, and then three more ghosts come. That night was particularly long and terrifying. When Christmas finally arrived, Scrooge had indeed changed. The Picture of Dorian Gray, We often say that a face is like a book, able to tell its own story. When Dorian Gray sees his face in the portrait, he falls in love with his own beauty. Nothing can harm his beauty, nothing can hurt or change it—love cannot, nor even time. Therefore, he cuts the connection between his face and his heart, his appearance and his inner world. His face does not change, always young and beautiful. He is the portrait—the portrait painted with the brush of love—that is telling a true story. It is the true Dorian Gray—aging and becoming ugly every day, full of hatred. This book is a bilingual edition (English-Chinese) for the convenience of English learners. The Kidnapping, From 1745, the years in Scotland were difficult. The Highlanders of Scotland launched a war against King George of England but failed. King George's forces drove many Highlanders out of their homes. David Balfour, from the Lowlands of Scotland, was not troubled by the English army. When he left home to start a new life, he did not expect any trouble or danger. But trouble soon followed one after another. He meets his rich uncle, but his uncle is not at all happy to learn that he has such a poor nephew. Danger comes one after another. David comes to the Highlands of Scotland, where he meets Alan Breck, a proud Stuart. The Stuarts hate the English and also hate the Campbells who are loyal to King George, so Alan is a dangerous friend to David. Then a murder occurs. David and Alan flee through the wilderness. This series also includes: Justice, Interstellar Zoo, Teeth and Claws, The Story of the Bront? Family, Chemical Secrets, Hijacking.
