The Sign of the Four: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? Sherlock Holmes’ second published case is one of great complexity, taking in subcontinental prisons, savage islanders, disappearing boats, murders in historic houses and a spectacularly mistaken dog. The tale of Miss Mary Morstan, a lady in the supremely uneviable position of having exceedingly valuable pearls sent to her once a year, and the disappearance of her father, The Sign of the Four is just as much about the ideals of justice and empire as it is about the thrilling mystery that it pleases to call its plot. Though the culprit behind the whole affair may be known from early on, knowing the man is one thing, distinctive limbs (or lack thereof) and all; finding him is quite another matter. Following The Sign of the Four’s inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English Literature (first examinations 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1890 text, complete with F.H. Townsend’s illustrations to the 1903 edition, large, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis. What has this student edition got over other editions?

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. There have been many audio recordings of the novella, with some of the more famous readers including Tom Baker, Roger Rees, Christopher Lee, Anthony Quayle, Martin Jarvis, Tim Pigott-Smith, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Gene Lockhart.

The Tempest: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
“Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell” In what is thought to have been his last solo play, Shakespeare weaves a remarkable story of Prospero’s attempts to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful position using sorcery and manipulation. In this CBy edition, suitable for GCSE students, the full First Folio text is complemented by exhaustive student notes to aid analysis, annotation-friendly margins and William Hazlitt’s fascinating introduction to the play.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Although the title is Julius Caesar, Caesar is not the most visible character in its action, appearing alive in only three scenes. Marcus Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines, and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism and friendship.

The Tragedy of Macbeth: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Shakespeare’s tragic exploration of evil and its effect has enthralled readers and theatregoers alike for centuries. Mixing the ethereal with realism, the uncanny with the disturbed and black magic with blackguardedly wicked characters, The Scottish Play has rarely been off our stages since its first performance more than four hundred years ago, and will remain thus for the foreseeable future. The tale of an overambitious Thane in eleventh-century Scotland who murders his way to the top following a dubious prophecy, the play then tracks his descent into tyranny and madness. Following Macbeth’s inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English Literature, first examinations in June 2017, CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged First Folio text, complete with a selection of thematic paintings relating to the play, wide, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis.

The War of the Worlds: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
“No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their affairs they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most, terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet, across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.” Following The War of the Worlds inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English Literature (first examinations 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1898 text, complete with all the illustrations to the first American edition, large, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis.
