Lady Chatterley's Lover
Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover is no longer distinguished for the once shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman
and the gamekeeper who works for the estate owned by her husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, Lawrence's masterful and lyrical writing,
and a story that takes us bodily into the world of its characters.

Hound of the Baskervilles
The master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes, and his acolyte, Dr Watson, are here adapted into graphic novel form - a refreshing transformation which seems 'elementary' for books that have previously been made into films with suspenseful storylines and strong visual elements. Full of intrigue and witty characterisation, The Hound of the Baskervilles takes readers to the Devon moors, where Holmes has to use all his logic to prove that the hound seen near Sir Charles Baskerville's dead body was not the supernatural manifestation of a curse, but the instrument of an earthly murder.
