Book summary

The Bell of Atri book summary

In an Italian town, anyone who has suffered a wrong may ring the king’s bell. Years later, a hungry old horse pulls at the fresh vine tied to it. What case could a horse possibly bring before the judges? This complete legend from Fifty Famous Stories Retold keeps the original illustration and syllable breaks. The clear sequence suits supported B1 reading, though words like “steed” and “miser” may need a gloss.
