SHERLOCK HOLMES & SPORT OF KINGS
SHERLOCK HOLMES & SPORT OF KINGS
Classics, modern fiction, non-fiction and more. Written for secondary and
adult students the Oxford Bookworms Library has seven reading levels from
A1-C1 of the CEFR. Horseracing is the sport of kings, perhaps because
racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win, they can make a lot
of money for the owners, for the trainers, and for the people who put bets on
them. Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One
night he disappears, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the
killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do
they do? They write to 221B Baker Street, of course - to ask for the help of
the great detective, Sherlock Holmes. CEFR A1/A2 Word count 5,925
