Reviews

  • "Sometimes you find a book and think, 'Why didn't someone do this years ago?' The answer is probably that no-one else could have approached the job or seen it through to completion so magnificently. This is much more than a valuable resource to make Shakespeare's vocabulary accessible to students; it is so crammed with delicious snippets that it is a delight to browse." - UK Literary Association (UKLA)
  • "Savvy navigation tools, skilful indexing and clever colour coded referencing." - The BookBag
  • "Guaranteed to enhance enjoyment and understanding of Shakespeare's work." - Parents In Touch
  • "Stunningly useful book" - The Guardian
  • "A modern and dynamic approach to Shakespeare's language usage" - Editing Matters
  • "It is not only scholarly and comprehensive, it is hugely enjoyable" - Books for Keeps
  • "A charming and deliciously meaty book, it's a must for every primary and secondary English and Drama classroom in my view, and essential for the school library too." - Susan Elkin, The School Librarian
