Interesting, educational and fun read

[Mia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much fun. And helpful (has film/television versions to watch as reference). Systematic too (the index, divided by plays/sonnets and background info, is good for making mind maps in your mind). And also you can fan yourself with Willy's face, which is always cool. Page 96: "Exit, pursued by a bear."
