Reviews
It has already achieved well-deserved prestige having been highly commended in the 2007 English-Speaking Union awards and deserves to become a classic of its kind.

The seeds for such a practical, relevant title were sown many years ago when, realising early on his career that a passion for Shakespeare did not hold much credibility with truculent teenagers, Luke Prodromou began to adopt various techniques to overcome his classroom difficulties....the outcome is this highly recommended title.
