This is a very interesting book that would make an excellent classroom companion. It covers a wide range of subjects in such a clever summarised way that it never gets boring. The author has used wonderful illustrations throughout the book to add another level of interest and give the book an extra spark. It would appeal to children learning English literature as well as adults with an interest in the subject. A very well written and cleverly structured book. Thank you.

“30-Second Literature” provides a surprising amount of information in its succinct descriptions. Besides summaries on wide-spanning range of literary styles, writing styles, devices, and much more, each section also provides helpful sub-sections with example bibliographies, related topics, overarching themes, and even more smaller, further distilled summaries of whichever topic is being addressed on the page. Being such an easy and handy resource, I hope that this will start to appear in English classrooms and school libraries soon.
