As a faithful and long standing admirer of Jane Austen's works, I have many books in my library dedicated to the study, the examination and the pure enjoyment of the works of the great English author. None is more appreciated and often consulted than "Approaches to Teaching Austen's Pride and Prejudice".

Prof. Folsom has compiled a rare gem: a book that satisfies the needs of the scholars and awakens the interest of the less knowledgeable reader. The reader is offered sixteen essays touching upon Social History, Austen's unpublished writing and reading, the structure and theme of the book and the language.

Through clear prose, the essays contribute fresh insights or reinforce well known information, often displaying a sparkle of the same kind of wit which has made the Author so beloved.

Every time I read part of this book, or its entirety, I find myself with a great urge to pick up once again Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". I cannot think of a better testimonial to the validity of the work.

My daughter is now 24 and she still has her copy of Q is for Duck she has had since she was 2. She had the book memorized when she was 2 and we had to read book every day for as long as I remember. She kept her copy for her children. I now want all my grandchildren to enjoy this excellent book.

My one year old daughter absolutly loves this book! It's definatly her favorite. Because of this book, she learned the sounds to about 15 different animals. I would recommend this book to every one!!!

I did a story hour project for my Children's Literature class and this is one of the books I read to them. They really enjoyed it because it kept them guessing what the letters stood for. This book helps the child to expand their imagination because this book is not the usual alphabet books that says "A is for Apple". This book expands that horizon by incorporating the sounds the animals make. I would recommend this book to anyone.
