Many years ago I read the War and Peace book from this series, little books that fit in your hand, and just give you a high level overview – perfect for things I know I’ll never read properly!
Most books start with a quote, list the main characters with a sentence about them, and then a summary of the plot, very easy to work through!
There were a few stories I’d seen on film/TV, and they were easier to fly through, but it also got me interested to watch a few more that I’ve not seen before. A lot of them were much darker than I expected!
There are a whole load of these available, I have the Shakespeare one on my shelf, which is the one I actually bought first, but have been a bit more daunted by, so I guess that’s one to try in 2025!
