Shakespeare

Some new books have arrived in the library, including a lovely set of very easy to read and understand Shakespeare classics. The writing style and humorous illustrations make these books accessible to readers of all ages. It is lovely to see Shakespeare’s writing in this fun format for all to enjoy.

Harry Potter

After much ‘gentle’ persuasion from some students, I finally got around to reading the Harry Potter series. Better late than never, it has been said. I have seen bits of the movies and had a general idea of what the books are about, but it wasn’t until I began reading that I fell in love with the story and the characters. I have now started the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban, and am enjoying it tremendously.  I have always enjoyed reading fantasy, so the wizards and mythical creatures and events appeal to my imagination. I enjoy the way that J.K. Rowling builds up the conflict in the story and then leads us to an unlikely and unexpected conclusion. I highly recommend the series for any readers who enjoy the fantasy genre.
