This is another in the wonderful Eyewitness series of books from Dorling Kindersley. Chock-full of illustrations, photos, drawings interspersed among paragraphs loaded with information, this book is as appealing to adults as to the young adult reader for whom it is intended. Each two-page spread deals with a single topic, so you can be an eyewitness to Shakespeare's Elizabethan world and the stories that inspired him. Learn about boy actors playing women, dramatic special effects, how music was used in plays, and what Shakespeare did when the theaters were closed due to plague. Written by Peter Chrisp, this is a perfect introduction to Shakespeare and his world for readers from junior high to adult. 72 pp. Hardcover.
