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
