Mem Fox
http://memfox.com/
I’ve been a writer for many years, but for many more years I worked in a university, teaching teachers how to teach reading and writing. So this website is about me, my life, my opinions, my books, my teaching and my feelings about being a writer.
I read aloud several of my books on this website, and in my bossy fashion I have also included a spoken lesson on how to read aloud well.

21 plays by Shakespeare printed in quarto
http://www.bl.uk/treasures/shakespeare/homepage.html
On this site you will find the British Library? 93 copies of the 21 plays by Shakespeare printed in quarto before the theatres were closed in 1642.
The texts date from Shakespeare's lifetime and are pamphlet editions of plays prepared to be sold after performances had finished.
The quarto editions are thought to be Shakespeare's working drafts, copies for rehearsals or records of versions remembered by actors.
Quartos were not produced in large numbers because they were not very popular or profitable.
Accompanying the online collection is background material, essays by Shakespearean scholars, commentaries, images and sound clips.
Tools on the site allow scholars to compare different versions of the same play to track textual changes.
