This latest essay from Tansy Rayner Roberts takes us to Lords and Ladies, and mostly what I would say is: poor Magrat. While things do ultimately turn out well for her, I’ve always felt quite sorry for her. This latest essay from Tansy Rayner Roberts is mostly about the men of Lancre (and some visitors), and you can learn a lot about many of those men by looking at how they interact with Magrat. Because neither Granny nor Nanny care much what you think (and who’s going to dare to be rude to Granny?), but Magrat really does.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream has never been my favourite Shakespeare (bah, comedies), but when I first read it, this novel gave me a whole new way of looking at it.
Also Morris dancing.
