The Lord of the Rings trilogy - one volume paperback (movie cover)
2.  The Lord of the Rings trilogy - one volume paperback (movie cover) by J. R. R. Tolkien

Ivanhoe (Penguin Popular Classics)
3.  Ivanhoe (Penguin Popular Classics) by Walter Scott
The list author says:
  "A by-word for drama and romance.  Perhaps the most colourful and fast-paced of Scott’s novels, Ivanhoe is irrefutable proof that Hollywood cannot hold a candle to the written word"

4.  Dracula (Penguin Popular Classics) by Bram Stoker

The Woman in White (Penguin Classics)
6.  The Woman in White (Penguin Classics) by Wilkie Collins

Beside the Ocean of Time
8.  Beside the Ocean of Time by George Mackay Brown

The Phantom of the Opera
9.  The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
10.  The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics) by Alexandre Dumas

£1.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

Treasure Island (Penguin Popular Classics)
11.  Treasure Island (Penguin Popular Classics) by Robert Louis Stevenson
The list author says:
  "This is what literature is all about.  Few other novels are so readable as this quintessential classic; fewer still exude the same kind of fairy-tale magic"
