I read this with my boys. It's a decent introduction to Shakespeare. Good conversation starter at the least.

Sometimes I read book solely to see if my kids might like or learn something from a book and this book passed on both counts.

This book is good but you should read some of his plays first

It was a fine book so if you wanna get it I think it is a good choice

read this with my 5th graders :’)

A FETHER WAS A PEN AT THAT TIME.

As always these are good for all ages. I took a semester on the guy in college and still learned some cool stuff in this book. This went along with our reading The Tempest for kids. Good combo.

My 9 year old son and I read this for a biography he has to complete for school. The font size and occasional pictures helped him get through this chapter book relatively fast. This was our first book in this series, but we will pick up some more in the future. Easy, yet informative read for middle schoolers.

Lots of people do not know much about Shakespeare, but did you know that after Queen Elizabeth died King James the 6th of Scotland took over the rule of England. Shake spear admired the queen when he was young. But when King James saw Shakespeare's play he named his acting crew the Kings Men. Shakespeare lived in the late 1500s and early 1600s, he actually survived Black Death, or the Bubonic Plauge twice as it swept through England.

I think that this is a good interesting book that holds a lot of facts important information about Shakespeare. I think this book is great and I recommend it.

Great, simplified summary of Shakespeare’s life and plays, and how they were often commentary on current events of the time. My kids have loved learning about him and thus book helped so much.

I was a little disappointed in this biography for young readers. I was hoping to get a quick picture of this literary master only to find out that folks don't know too many facts about William. So much of what we credit as Shakespearean is conjecture and opinion. I guess it doesn't matter in the long run, but it does not make for a great biography.
