875. Aepyornis Island by HG Wells ๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿฅš ...

Luke Thompson
About this episode

Learn English with another short story. I'll read the entire story to you, and then go through the text again explaining and clarifying the main events and plenty of vocabulary. This is a wonderful adventure story written by HG Wells, a very influential and imaginative English writer from the late 19th century. The story is full of vivid descriptive language, action, adventure and extraordinary moments. I hope it captures your imagination and lets the English come alive in memorable ways.


The story starts after about 12 minutes.
