CraftLit - Serialized Classic Literature for Busy Book Lovers

CRAFTLIT - START THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO HERE

Get ready for an epic ride into the world of the classic masterpiece, The Count of Monte Cristo, packed with everything you could want: revenge, betrayal, redemption, and some seriously intense drama!

The Marseillaise, Wembley, and The Count of Monte Cristo

The tragic events of last Friday (all of them) put me in mind of a few things and I decided to make a little video for you. NO idea how long this will last what with me borrowing a film clip—for educational purposes—so watch it while you can! Have friend you've been trying to explain CraftLit to? This may be a decent introduction to what we do every week. Feel free to share!
