Who Was William Shakespeare? (Who Was…?)

From Sarah:

If you're going to read just one biography about Shakespeare himself, I'd suggest making it this one. It makes for a quick and enjoyable read-aloud for all ages.

From the Publisher:

The beloved plays of Shakespeare are still produced everywhere, yet the life of the world's most famous playwright remains largely a mystery. Young Will left the town of Stratford to pursue theater in London, where his work eventually thrived and made him a famous and wealthy man. With black-and-white illustrations that include a diagram of the famous Globe theater, Celeste Davidson Mannis puts together the pieces of Shakespeare's life and work for young readers.
