520    Introduces the poetry of William Shakespeare through a 
       sampling of sonnets and excerpts from his plays. He was 
       the greatest poet and playwright who ever lived, the 
       dramatist who penned lines that we quote without even 
       realizing their origin. Shakespeare's glorious works have 
       even inspired animated films--like Disney's The Lion King.
       Introduce children to the Bard with this wonderful, fully 
       annotated collection of sonnets and soliloquies, enhanced 
       with beautiful, highly realistic color paintings that 
       bring each excerpt to vivid life. Here are Shakespeare's 
       most famous speeches: "To be or not to be" from Hamlet, 
       with the melancholy Dane pictured in front of the castle, 
       his face pensive and gazing into the distance Portia's 
       gentle plea for mercy in The Merchant of Venice Macbeth's 
       witches' cackling "Double, double, toil and trouble" and 
       Marc Antony's sarcastic address to "Friends, Romans, 
       Countrymen," in Julius Caesar. A golden-robed Henry V, 
       kneeling and bowed from the weight of the world, ponders 
       how rulers must bear the burden of their subjects' needs. 
       Mercutio, seen here in a bright red background as fiery 
       and explosive as his personality, gently teases his 
       lovesick friend Romeo. From the tender sonnets (Shall I 
       compare thee to a summer's day?) to the humorous songs 
       sung by his jesters in comedies such as Twelfth Night, 
       every page contains pure verbal and visual magic.
