5.0 out of 5 stars
brush up your shakespeare--it's fun!,
By laura dooley (valparaiso, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting to Know William Shakespeare (Road Scholar Series) (Audio CD)
This cd is a great way for families to make good use of downtime spent in cars. It combines biographical detail (kids will be fascinated by such everyday Elizabethan images as traitors' heads on spikes on London's Tower Bridge) with fascinating literary and cultural analysis (rap-weary parents will be intellectually intrigued). Quotations from premier academic authorities are interspersed with appropriate period music and short excerpts from the Bard himself. It flows like an NPR report, and you may find yourself sitting in the car to finish it even after you've reached your destination!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Wonderful CD on Shakespeare,
By Lisa M. Maas (Sacramento, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting to Know William Shakespeare (Road Scholar Series) (Audio CD)
My whole family enjoyed Getting to Know William Shakespeare. We loved the music, the analysis of his plays, and the interesting facts about his life. The professors on the CD make Shakespeare very accessable to all of us with funny stories and interesting historical background. If you don't know anything about him, you will find this great to listen to. And if you have read his plays, you will also learn something about his craft. The CD is very entertaining. I highly recommend it.
