Review :
"Susan Elkin has come up with another winner in her So you really want to learn English Book 3. The rich diet of classic texts with toothsome language exercises and interesting extension work has satisfied our pupils' appetite - and not only those with enquiring minds. The non-fiction pieces are first-rate and provocative: everyone had a view." Nigel Ramage, Papplewick School "A rich and bountiful basket of scholarly texts, rigorous questions and imaginative tasks, Susan Elkin's third book will inspire students and comfort teachers. Now we can all benefit from the author's years spent foraging for good gobbets." Andrew Hammond, Copthorne Preparatory School
