Product Description:
The beloved plays of Shakespeare are still produced everywhere, yet the life of the worlds most famous playwright remains largely a mystery. Young Will left the town of Stratford to pursue theater in London, where his work eventually thrived and made him a famous and wealthy man. With black-and-white illustrations that include a diagram of the famous Globe theater, Celeste Davidson Mannis puts together the pieces of Shakespeares life and work for young readers.

I chose this book because I didn't know about William Shakespeare. After reading it, I learned he was an actor, and he wrote famous plays that are still read by people today.

I think these books are great if you want to learn about a famous person. ... Read More
