Shakespeare on Toast: Getting a Taste for the Bard

I picked this up after a search on how to read Shakespeare after finding out that The Tempest was one of my set texts for my OU module. I hadn't studied Shakespeare since secondary school so was aprehensive about going back to it. I am so glad I got this book! It really made Shakespeare more accessible to my mind and I am looking forward to digging into The Tempest now.

It was such an easy, enjoyable read that I read it in one day. The prose is easy and straightforward and Ben has a wonderful way of breaking down his examples in a way that is understandable and does not make you feel that you have been talked down to.

I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to understand Shakespeare better. I know I do now.
