I'm a huge Stephen Fry fan and this book did not disappoint. You might think the subject matter - poetry and especially the forms and types of verses and rhymes used to compose it - to be dry and dull but nothing could be further from the truth. Stephen Fry uses his usual wit to make even this dreaded lesson from our bygone school days entertaining and fun. Try your hand at the many exercises, they might not turn you into the next Milton of W.H. Auden but you'll have fun and will gain a new insight in the world of poetry.
