Description
Learn about Shakespeare's world in an accessible, kid-friendly way! In classic DK fashion, this book's pages are a perfect blend of visual information: both pictures and text. Each spread covers a topic with one or two large color photographs, a paragraph or two, then the margins are filled in with smaller, relevant images and captions. This visual approach makes for a wonderful way to learn about Shakespeare's world. Learn about his upbringing, the royalty of that time, daily life and culture of that era, how his plays were written and performed, the different types of plays he wrote (such as comedy and tragedy), his legacy, and so much more! I absolutely loved this type of book as a child because it takes a dry subject and gives the reader a detailed, historically accurate view. Complete with a timeline, reference of Shakespeare's characters and a glossary. Perfect as a supplement to literature or history, or as a stand-alone book that is fun to read. 72 softcover pages.
