William Shakespeare was perhaps the greatest English playwright ever. In her most ambitious work to date, Aliki brings the Bard's life and times to young readers. Using her characteristically thorough and animated words and pictures, and quotations from Shakespeare's plays, Aliki has created a five-act masterpiece that is the definitive introduction to the playwright and his word.
