1.10 Books Featuring Plays

Listen Later

Happy 10th episode! This week, I’m discussing why I love books that feature plays, and recommending some of my favourite books that do so! I talk about Shakespeare and Jane Austen, but also a graphic novel and a middle-grade. Please let me know if you can think of any more books featuring plays that I might enjoy!

  

Next week, I’ll be discussing The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. There’s still time to read it! Here are some links to free audiobook versions:

  • The Katherine Woods translation
  • The Richard Howard translation 

    •   

    • Books featuring plays:
    • Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
    • A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
    • Drama by Raina Telgemeier
    • The Man Who Loved Children by Christina Stead
    • Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild 
    • Mansfield Park by Jane Austen 


      • A full transcription of this episode, plus an extended list of resources and things I mentioned is available on my website here.
