Interesting Shakespeare Information

This book is an excellent introduction to Shakespeare and to the late 16th and early 17th centuries. I found my children very interested in the pictures and then asking about the information. I must say that I have yet to find any DK Eyewitness Books that were not wonderful. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the man or the time.

Great for teachers

My students love this book! I use it every year when I introduce my freshmen to Shakespeare and his world for the first time. They are most fascinated by the boy being transformed into a female character. There's much to learn in there for teachers and lovers of Shakespeare as well.

Shakespeare for children

Everything A-OK w/this purchase of DK's "Shakespeare." Interesting book...full of "hooks of interest" for kids. Thanks! n.
