Reviews

‘The Dialogues are eminently readable and immediate ... in places irresistible. [They lead] the modern reader easily into an ancient world with familiar problems’ - The Philosopher

‘These are words I want to remember. Yes, Stedall is a word master, and without any cheap tricks or somersaults, he had me instantly intrigued’ - The Smoking Poet                                            
                                                                                                             
‘I was drawn deeper and deeper into the simple but solid reasoning. Stedall's imagined dialogue had me fully in the present’ - Midwest Book Review
