Explore the life and works of one of the greatest writers of the English language!

Uncover the truth beyond common myths - could his father really not read or write? What really happened during 'the Lost Years'? Why did he retire from writing while only in his early 40s? - and reveal fascinating trivia surrounding the life of the nation's favourite playwright. Learn about Shakespeare's family, childhood and why his writing has endured the test of time. Fact boxes full of bitesized information, a full glossary and a helpful index make the book fun, informative and easy to use. Black-and-white line drawings bring the text to life to inspire any budding theatre enthusiasts, writers and more!

Jacqueline Morley studied English at Oxford University. She has taught English and History, and now works as a freelance writer. She has written historical fiction and non-fiction for children.
