Reviews for Oxford School Shakespeare: Oxford School Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet
An excellent book, far superior to the one supplied by school for GCSE study, it had all we needed to complete tasks set by the teacher...if I had the money I would buy a set of the Oxford School Shakespere and donate it to the school in question * 5 star Amazon review *
