This book by Mr. Halliday is fascinating. Not only does it tell of Shakespeare's life and what had influenced his works, but it also tells of certain historic items that are happening. This book does go in depth in William's life. But why four stars and not five? I used this book for the study of someone great in History for an English class. Four stars was given for the reason that the book would talk about other people such as Queen Elizabeth and her affairs as well as drift from William Shakespeare. If you can deal with the annoyance of the story drifting off topic, and enjoy learning about Shakespeare. Then I highly recommend this book.
