What They Don't Tell You About Shakespeare
Illustrated by Alan Rowe
A fascinating 'Horrible Histories' style collection of odds and ends about Shakespeare, his life and times. The jokey and irreverent presentation and tone reveal all kinds of slightly quirky information about Will's childhood, marriage, theatre, writing and influences. Just right for dipping into at random and cheap enough for multiple copies, this bright and breezy book with its cartoon illustrations will go a long way towards making Shakespeare an accessible old bard.
