About the author

As a colonial educator in Bengal for a period of twenty years, Michael Philip West (1888–1973) developed many original insights into problems of teaching English ‘in difficult circumstances’ and—on this basis—became a prolific writer of textbooks for Longmans, Green during the late 1920s and 1930s.

The only problem (I guess you would say) I had with it, is that it was unnecessarily long. I think I would just rather watch the movie than read it again but....It was still a fantastic book!
