Beautiful Illustrations,

This review is from: Shakespeare's Theater (Inside Story) (Hardcover)
This seems elementary at first but there is a surprising amount of information here about Elizabethan Theater. The pictures really bring the text to life.

A Look at the Material Culture of Elizabethan Theater,

This review is from: Shakespeare's Theater (Inside Story) (Hardcover)
"Shakespeare's Theater" is another volume in the wonderful "Inside Story" series. Like the other books in the series, this work teaches history by looking at the material culture of the era. It is this emphasis on architecture, costumes, props and the daily lives of Elizabethan actors that makes this book work. It is very hard to explain the brilliance of Shakespeare's work to a young child. It is much easier to delight them with the details of everyday life. All of this is achieved due to the brilliance of John James' detailed illustrations. He is one of the finest illustrators working in children's historical literature. This is a great book that will delight child and parent alike. Highly recommended.
