A Tale of Two Cities (Wordsworth Classics)A Tale of Two Cities (Wordsworth Classics) by Charles Dickens
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01
I felt I had to read this one simply because it is in the curriculum of many school english courses. Divided into 3 books - I found book 2 dull, but book 3 was gripping.
