It's Been There for Years

A collection of short mysteries, a graded reader for adult and young-adult learners of English at A2 (elementary).

Listen to all six stories, narrated in British English, with the option to follow the text on screen.

For a hundred years a wooden lady has looked out to sea from Merrowby's harbour wall. On Easter Saturday, she's gone. Then somebody plays the piano on a locked pier at five in the morning, a bottle comes back from the sea, and somebody wins a million pounds without knowing it. Six short mysteries, and a race in every one.

A complete book: you don't need to read It Was Here a Minute Ago first.
