The Turn of the Screw

A young woman arrives at a large country house. Her job is to look after the two children who live there, but she soon discovers that there is something very strange about both the house and the children. The longer she stays, the more she feels that the two children are in danger - or is it that the children are the danger, and the person in danger is herself?

Robin Hood

Robin Hood is a fearless warrior who fights for the truth. He lives in the forest with other outlaws. Robin Hood with friends rob rich people and give stolen money to poor people. He is an honest and fair man. Robin Hood is the best archer in England and he likes to be the winner.

The Call of the Wild

When men find gold in the frozen north of Canada, they need dogs - big, strong dogs to pull the sledges on the long journeys to and from the gold mines.

Buck is stolen from his home in the south and sold as a sledge-dog. He has to learn a new way of life - how to work in harness, how to stay alive in the ice and the snow . . . and how to fight. Because when a dog falls down in a fight, he never gets up again.
