The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Mark Haddon)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon is a fabulous book. A story written from the viewpoint of an autistic child it addresses many issues, such as attitudes to mental illness and parent-child relationships. 

Our GCSE Literature series explores the key themes, characters, context, genre, form and structure of the book. We also look at all the chapters in detail before rounding off with tutorials on key quotations and how to answer the all important exam questions.

Written by Laura Broadbent, an experienced writer and teacher, we are delighted that the part of Christopher is played by Chris Ashby who played the part in the West End
