Revue de presse

...they are beautifully produced: sturdily made, finely printed and illustrated, with clear, inviting and highly practical layout. There is an editorial team behind them with a track record known to many teachers, inspiring confidence and producing consistency. There is care not just for the integrity of the text being studied, but for the methodology used. Pupils respond to the texts with reading, writing, speaking and listening: the indivisibility of English as a subject is never lost sight of. But what makes the books most rworth having is the understanding of the texts themselves: not only in their historical and social contexts, but also as aesthetic objects obeying laws and structures of their own. I recommend them strongly. (Times Educational Supplement)
