Classic Lit and Contemporary Conversation

Great way to connect or reconnect with classic works of literature

Feelsosilly ,

Most Excellent!!

I have listened to CraftLit for years - I believe I began during Jane Eyre, but I’ve listened to so many books and episodes I can’t remember. I have been exposed to many more classics than I would have without CraftLit - and have been richly rewarded by not only the content of the books, but also by author background, subtle humor, historical settings/politics/sociology, and so much more. Heather does not spoon feed - she teaches, challenges and inspires further research into so many topics related to the readings. She has a large and loyal following, and I am delighted to be a included in this group!

Have a Wonderful Day!:) ,

Simply Lovely

I simply adore this podcast! So many good books and fun conversations. I learn so much every time! I started listening as a way to hear my favorite book, the Count of Monte Cristo, and have since loved the show! Thank you Heather and team:)
