School favourite
I read this over 15 years ago as part of a 5th year English class, and have always loved it. I’ve watched all the adaptations to it, we went as a school trip to the theatre to watch it, and recently bought the radio drama.
Listened to all of these podcasts on a walk yesterday, great discussions. Hopefully your pupils found it helpful.
