Cambridge School Anthologies is a series of texts for lower secondary school students. The series includes writing from different centuries and is designed to explore literature through active and varied approaches. Each book is divided into thematic sections with illustrations to help place the writing in context. The suggested activities and notes are suitable for both group work and individual study. Tales from Another Time is a collection of stimulating stories both from the 19th century and from the beginning of this century. The stories are interspersed with suggested classroom activities. Illustrations at regular intervals set the tone for the tales, and the activities encourage students to explore this genre and interpret the texts with personal responses. The selection is both appealing to read and challenging to study.
