The perfect gift for graduation! An inspiring, accessible and powerful collection of pieces of writing from William Shakespeare to L.M. Montgomery to Tim Minchin.

A collection of 100 pieces of writing - poems, prose, letters, speeches, song lyrics, quotations, and more - from Shakespeare to Philip Pullman and from John Donne to Oliver Jeffers, which are in turn powerful, funny, moving, wise, and thought-provoking, expertly curated and with accessible, thoughtful commentary by Nicolette Jones, children's book critic for The Sunday Times.
