Oxford Reading Tree: Stage 16: TreeTops Classics: Silas Marner George Eliot
When Silas Marner is wrongly accused of theft, he leaves his home town to start a new life in Raveloe. Here, he lives a solitary existence, weaving linen on his loom, and disturbing no one. Then one dark wintery night an unknown visitor arrives and changes his life forever. To help make this book accessible there are new features: illustrated character lists; notes on history; on page explanations of difficult words; and new teaching notes.
