The Secret Life Of Books: S02 - 2016 - 6/10
Superior followup to the first series (S01 marred by inferior presenters).
This season is a trifle more “English” with several titles less known outside of Britain.
Episodes include Spenser’s “Faerie Queen,” Lear’s “Nonsense Songs,” Eliot’s “Mill On The Floss.”
Also “Confessions Of An Opium Eater,” “Cider With Rosie,” and “Swallows And Amazons.”
Each show is a mere 30 minutes. Hosts read from the book, talk of their relationship with it, and the legacy of book and author.
Book lovers need no recommendation. Others, this is a literary way to kill a half hour.
