theater for older readers. --School Library Journal (starred review)
This factual, focused and lively history is illustrated with 17 years' worth of paintings and drawings rendered by Everett, the 'Artist of the Record' for the recent renovation of the Globe Theatre... The drawings and photographs... make Elizabethan architecture and theatrical style come alive.
