In these four stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald shows, with humour, how
different people react in a variety of different situations, showing
readers both the dark and light sides of human nature. "Penguin Readers"
is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original
titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading
in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign
language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading
age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited
reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles
in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature
strands of the National Curriculum English Orders.
