ReplyDeleteThanks Hana!! I have only read a few books: Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare and The Nottebooke (Which is a book written about him by Graham Clarke).
ReplyDeleteCool biography! Which of his books is your favourite? Why?
ReplyDeleteI like all his books equally but I do prefer some to others. I quite like Twelfth Night, the book we read in Y7, because I found it quite interesting at times and also it is fun to learn what the old English language sounded like and what it meant. Some words are easier to recognise but others are quite hard.
