Synopsis

'William loved words. He liked plays, too. William also liked girls...' And so begins the story of William Shakespeare's life. In need of money, William moves to London to work in the theatre. He enjoys working with the actors, but doesn't really like the plays they perform. So he decides to write his own. Word gets out about William's plays, and soon his work even has a royal seal of approval from Queen Elizabeth I...This is a uniquely simple, engaging and attractive first history book for children. The simple text works well with Sue Shield's excellent illustrations.

Media Reviews
'This is a fun way for children to learn history...a lively flavour of Elizabethan times.' -- Five to Eleven 20030303 'True stories retold in simple text supported by speech bubbles make these books attractive to boys who may still be emergent readers. The comic-style illustrations of people and the necessary props for the story shown against a plain white background help to make understanding quick and clear.' -- Real Book News, Issue 11 20020501
