Bluebeard: A Reader's Guide to the English Tradition
Bluebeard: A Reader's Guide to the English Tradition is the first major study of the tale and its many variants (some, like "Mr. Fox," native to England and America) in English: from the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century chapbooks, children's toybooks, pantomimes, melodramas, and circus spectaculars, through the twentieth century in music, literature, art, film, and theater.
These are personal collections from the net for teaching and learning Linking Words.
Linking words and phrases are extremely important in writing. They help you to connect your ideas and sentences, so that your reader can follow your ideas. If you do not use linking devices, your sentences could appear isolated from each other, which makes it more difficult for your reader to follow your "line of thinking" and the points you make.

Collection of essays by Virginia Woolf, published in two series, the first in 1925 and the second in 1932. The title indicates Woolf's intention that her essays be read by the educated but non-scholarly "common reader," who examines books for personal enjoyment. Woolf outlines her literary philosophy in the introductory essay to the first series, "The Common Reader," and in the concluding essay to the second series, "How Should One Read a Book?"
The Egyptian Cross Mystery is a good introduction to Ellery Queen. In this fifth novel the young Ellery Queen can still be insufferable on occasion, although the presence of his college professor, Dr. Yardley, checks his impulse to exhibit his erudition. Ellery remains baffled by the bizarre murders as does the reader. A final clue hidden among detail suddenly provides Ellery, and the particularly observant reader, the key to the mystery. Stay alert for the final clue, despite deliberate distractions and misdirection.
