FROM SARAH:

This book is so much fun! Much of our modern-day language comes from William Shakespeare, and Jane Sutcliffe takes us on a delightful journey to find out what those words are and where they came from.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

The Bard of Avon is responsible for such familiar phrases as "what's done is done" and "too much of a good thing." He even helped turn "household words" into household words. As readers will discover, "the long and the short of it" is this: Will changed the English language forever. Will's words pop up all over the place!
