Hi GreenGully, I wonder if I can help you out a little here. We have a few places left on one of our critical reading courses, based on The Butterfly Lion, by Michael Morpugo (27th-30th December). It's tutorial-based and is online, so you can access it from anywhere. Our tutors are from Oxford and Warwick Universities (UK), and we foster a really positive and supportive atmosphere. Would you like me to reserve you a place (on the house)? pm me if you're interested.
