Riassunto

Bewitching lines from Macbeth, magical songs from A Midsummer Night’s Dreamand lover’s talk from Romeo and Juliet will inspire new characters to be created, new dialogue to be written, and perhaps even a Shakespearean comic strip to unfold. Within the beautifully illustrated pages of this book are opportunities to experiment with Shakespearean words and phrases, whether writing a heartfelt letter to Romeo’s cousin, penning a new fairy song for Peaseblossom, or telling your teacher they’re an idiot in a brand new play. Budding authors will have stories to write, journal entries to fill in and pictures of new characters to draw, as well as Shakespearean trivia and fun puzzles to complete.

Recensione:

Beautifully presented with remarkable artwork to really engage children and make them want to write in the book - for this is, most definitely, a book to write in - and then to treasure... It will encourage children to use their imaginations and they will also learn a lot about the great playwright and be encouraged to read his work. I see and review hundreds of books, and sometimes a book really stands out... I hope there are more to come in the series - it's a brilliant concept. --Parents in Touch

Takes the most child-friendly elements of Shakespeare's works magical fairies, wicked witches, cunning disguises and comical figures and makes them feel relevant, exciting and accessible. What s more, it puts your child in charge of the action to create and design their own stories and scenarios. --My Little Style File

The appeal to children 8-12 who love writing is not in question and they could easily use it independently. It would also make a wonderful gift for an eager young writer and could fire a new enthusiasm for the Bard. --English 4-11
