William's Words: The Story of William Shakespeare (Stories From History)

This is a uniquely simple, engaging, and attractive first history book for children. It tells the story of William Shakespeare, who in need of money, moved to London to work in the theatre. He enjoyed working with the actors, but didn't really like the plays they performed. So he decided to write his own. Word got out about William's plays, and soon his work had a royal seal of approval from Queen Elizabeth I.
