I'll admit it...... I'm in the dark about some of The Bard's minor works. But now, when I decide to go after one of the "minor" plays, I know where to turn. This book offers scene by scene analyses to keep you up to speed with the action. I recently read "Timon of Athens" for the first time, and with the aid of this volume I was able to focus on the play itself, instead of having to reread a passage over and over. Cliff's Notes Rock!

Plus...I got it for 75 centavos at the local thrift store!
