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 Literacy 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'"It's a joyful celebration as much as an aid to teaching and learning and affectionate as it is scholarly"'Teach Secondary, "Targeted especially to high school students, this appealing reference explains 4,000 Shakespearean words with examples from the 12 most studied and performed plays." --Library Journal
