| Summary |
This foldout book expands to create a six foot long removable timeline of Shakespeare's life featuring panels devoted to his plays. Cartoon figures drawn in a clear line style appear in key dramatic scenes accompanied by quotations and summaries that readers can examine through an included magnification sheet (on its own the font used for the recaps and context is almost comically small). Supplementing the timeline and its miniature theatrical stagings is the "Wallbook Chronicle" which is designed to look like a broadsheet newspaper filled with fictitious Shakespeare related stories ("Stars crossed as West Side lovers take a tragic turn" reads the headline for a faux review of West Side Story). A selection of sonnets letters to the editor from across the centuries and a quiz round out this engaging resource for readers just getting to know Shakespeare and his work.--Publisher. |
