    I would recommend something by Charles Dickens. Great Expectations is probably a good place to start.

    Hello Julia Spring Age:

    You need a short story, of which several come to mind:

    "The Old Man and The Sea" by Ernest Hemingway (this is the longest of the several I recommend here)

    "Rikki Tikki Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling

    "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber

    "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving


    =======================================


    But since you insist upon British literature:

    "The Jungle Book" (short stories) ---By Rudyard Kipling

    "Captains Courageous" by Rudyard Kipling

    "Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle

    --Warm Regards, Bruce
