A cute little pamphlet about literature in three parts: fiction, drama, and poetry. You learn about some general history, the meaning of certain terms, brief bio of important authors, and an obligatory lists of ten works per category.
Examples of the little factoids:
* bio: Cervantes was jailed several times for debt and allegedly started his master piece in jail.
* terms: epithalamium is a poem in celebration of a wedding.
* example selection: one of ten greatest novel is “Tristram Shandy” (I didn’t know that one).
