Famous Author Series: William Shakespeare

Did you know that Will wore an earring in his left ear? Well, he does in one of his portraits. Beyond that interesting tidbit, this program offers the standard fare: a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon for a look at the playwright's birthplace, an overview of the Elizabethan period, and a quick introduction to the theater of Shakespeare's day, as well as the sketchy outline (all we have) of his life. A serviceable and excellently priced guide to the poet and his times. Other titles in the series include: Jane Austen, John Keats, Mark Twain, and Virginia Woolf. An additional series, The Famous Composers Series, which covers Mozart and 11 other composers, is also available. Aud: J, H, C, P. (R. Pitman)
