Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-15 00:00:00 Patrick Meyer While I don't think this book would likely grab a young child's attention (lots of words, good pictures but not fascinating), it is a well done short biography of the life of Shakespeare. The authors did a great job of taking what little "fact" there is about the Bard and condensing it into a readable little book to read aloud to youngsters. Despite that they felt it necessary to mention that Will & Anne's first child was born a mere 6 months after their wedding (would that even cause a child to bat an eye? Like most kids know how long gestation is!), the information is well chosen and seems to lack superfluity. It's a nice little intro not only to Shakespeare, but to his times. I'll be using it this year in Shakespeare class.
