The Connell Short Guide To Sebastian Faulks's Birdsong - Softcover

What I love about these is that theyre small & unintimidating, so they make the potentially intimidating accessible --Helena Bonham Carter

The Connell Guides are brief, attractive, erudite, and to the point. Bravo! --Sir Tom Stoppard

Completely brilliant. I wish I were young again with these by my side. Its like being in a room with marvellous tutors. You cant really afford to be without them, and they are a joy to read. --Joanna Lumley

People love Birdsong. To date, it has sold more than three million copies. Countless stage adaptations have been made; in 2012 it was turned into a two-part BBC series staring Eddie Redmayne and Clémence Poésy; a Hollywood film, starring Nicholas Hoult, is currently in production. It scores highly in lists of the nations favourite books. (It came 13th in the BBCs Big Read in 2003, for example.) And it has barely had a bad word written about it; some critics even think it only just stops short of perfection.
