Publisher's Synopsis
When Penelope Dyan saw the actual house where playwright William Shakespeare was born and grew up, she was nothing short of giddy. To see and hear docents dressed in costume take her through the house where Shakespeare was born, to walk where he walked, and to see where he played and where his father made leather gloves (as was his trade) and to look at the fireplaces and hearths where food was cooked and where William Shakespeare warmed his hands and feet, was an amazing experience for author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan . . . not to mention the excitement she experienced when she saw the bedroom where William Shakespeare was born and the likeness of his cradle! And to make things even more interesting, the lens of photographer John D. Weigand carefully captured this place, restored for posterity, right there in the quaint city of Stratford-upon Avon, a place with a magical past sure to inspire even the youngest of travelers! So have loads of fun practicing your reading skills through word recognition, repetition and rhyme, and see some of what what Dyan and Weigand saw as you read. Then go to the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel to have even more learning fun watching the free music video that goes with this book!
