Sinossi
Il fatto è realmente accaduto: qui la realtà ha superato la fantasia. Arando un campo, Gordon Butcher scopre un tesoro costituito da argenti di epoca romana, ma non si rende conto del suo inestimabile valore. Ne parla con l’astuto Ford, che lo aiuta fortunosamente a ricuperare il tesoro in mezzo a una tormenta di neve e poi se ne impossessa, gabbando la legge. Ma il diavolo fa le pentole senza i coperchi, anzi senza i cucchiai d’argento... Il testo, in lingua originale, è arricchito da: • Glossari con la traduzione delle parole più interessanti o difficili; • Note su strutture della lingua, forme idiomatiche o familiari, registri espressivi, phrasal verbs...; • Reading Comprehension Exercises.

Excerpt from Ch 1: "In 1946. more than thirty years ago, I was still unmarried and living with my mother. I was making a fair income by writing two short stories a year.

A fun change of pace for this Dahl lover. 3.5 stars on this one. I have heard of the Mildenhall Treasure but did not realize the story behind it was so fascinating. I am glad that he read that newspaper article and went dashing off to Mildenhall to interview Gordon Butcher! The illustrations are rea Leggi tutto
The true story of a Suffolk ploughman, Gordon Butcher, who uncovered the greatest treasure ever found in the British Isles. It was Roman silver of unparalleled beauty and value and, not appreciating what he had discovered, Butcher was savagely cheated out of the fortune that should have been his.
