Perfect combo of illustration and detailed information
Great illustrations and info...it's plenty of info but presented in a way that is engaging for my kids and not just going in one ear out the other. Well done and a great resource for our Charlotte Mason-ish homeschool

Good children's introduction to Shakespeare
This is a very simple and visually appealing book that we used to introduce William Shakespeare to the children. This proved to be quite effective tool. After reading, the children's interested increased and they began down the path to understand Shakespeare and his work.
