Hi all!

Have any of you purchased Shakespeare: Comedies, Histories and Tragedies?

We are doing a study of four of Shakespeare's plays this coming school year with my 9th grader and this series looks intriguing as a supplement and to keep for years to come. All the reviews are good, but I am hesitant to purchase it without a recommendation from a like-minded friend.

I have been really enjoying the latest issue of mater et magistra--timely issue for us--it has really helped me with my planning!!

God bless,

Of course, brilliant idea, Mary!

It's on hold for me right now at the library!

I will try and post a brief review after I give it a gander.

my oldest watched a bit of those...she said I could not let the youngers watch.

I have it and was planning to look them over as needed this year...but I am not home right now (at Willa's! YAY!) ...oh, but I guess your library has them...lucky you...and then you will know.

So, now, YOU can let ME know what you think!

I would appreciate it
