This was my top choice from this series, and I wasn't disappointed! Just wish I'd had this book back when I taught Shakespeare.

Okay, so I didn't enjoy it a lot. When I think about books I rate 3 stars, I actually enjoyed them but- this books taught me a lot. I didn't exactly enjoy it, but I did learn a lot about Shakespeare's plays, and just his life in general. I'm auditioning for midsummer nights dream, and Romeo and Juliet. So hopes that this will help. But why I didn't enjoy it was because, it is for younger readers. Not my age... So I'm sure it would help with them. It did help with me too personally. Hence the sentence above. But it also repeated a lot of sayings, such as "Which was ended in a tragedy." Which obviously minimises the grotesque parts for younger readers. But, I was surprised that they spoke about Hamlet thinking about, suicide. To finish my favourite Shakespeare sentence...
"Wear your heart on your sleeve."

Quick biography for William Shakespeare but so little is know about his life.

Love these quick reads for our middle school students! Full of facts and written in a fiction like format with illustrations...anything to hook kids on reading is awesome and this series of books is a win for for the library collection!

The book "Who was William Shakespeare?" Is a book full of information about the life of the famous playwright, actor, and theater director named William Shakespeare. A book that tells us about a well-known personality in the world, whose existence has remained shrouded in mystery to this day. I highly recommend this book because it offers a lot of information that you would not normally find on the internet, and the illustrations are wonderful.

good and exciting book

The book gives you an insight into William Shakespeare’s character and provides a glimpse into the global events during his life.

Very informative and well written.

Full of useful facts about Shakespeare and his plays! This book gave me a deeper understanding what exactly Shakespeare went through in his life. Read it now...

Discussion Question: Will's eleven-year-old son, Hammer's death came at a time when money was no longer a problem for Will. The following year, on the spring Will bought a pretty house for his family.
Which do yo think more important family (relationships) or money ?

Answer: I think relationship is more important than money. Because I do not like be lonely. I cannot do something hard without support of my family or friends.

I have never see Shakespeare's play. I want to see Hamlet

The book “Who Was William Shakespeare”, by Celeste Davidson Mannis is a good book that was pretty entertaining and had some good information on William Shakespeare. The book talks about how William was an actor and theater owner. What he’s known for is having one of the greatest playwrights of all time which is “Romeo and Juliet.” The book talks about William’s life from when he was baptized because his birthday is unknown to when he sadly died. In the book, it talks about William’s achievements like getting married and having three kids which then led him shortly after to make some great plays like “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” and “The Taming of the Shrew.” William’s life was very simple and was just really well known for his plays as I mentioned before. He had a lot of plays. To be honest, I didn’t really find this book as interesting as other books in this series. I do recommend this series though to people who like biographies and people who need some information on William Shakespeare.

This was interesting, but not as informative as I would have liked.
