Jane Eyre (Adaptation)

Oxford Bookworms Library, Stage 6

By: Clare West - adaptation, Charlotte Brontë

Narrated by: Ishia Bennison

Jane Eyre is alone in the world. Disliked by her aunt’s family, she is sent away to school. Here she learns that a young girl, with neither money nor family to support her, can expect little from the world. She survives, but she wants more from life than simply to survive: she wants respect, and love. When she goes to work for Mr Rochester, she hopes she has found both at once. But the sound of strange laughter, late at night, behind a locked door, warns her that her troubles are only beginning.

An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Charlotte Bronté original by Clare West.

Critic reviews

"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of storytelling." (David R. Hill, ELT Journal Review)

Engaging

I have great difficulty sitting and listening, I prefer books, but I found this captivating and finished it in a day. What an engaging story even in its abridged foremat.
