This title provides a superficial look at Shakespeare's life and works. Each page contains text, photos, sidebars, and/or primary documents, and definitions of words used in the text. Sometimes the definitions are odd, such as, "figurative language: words that do not have their usual meanings." Also, all of the words defined are in the glossary as well which seems redundant. 48 pages of glossy paperback, which includes a table of contents, index, glossary, recommended books and web sites, this volume is part of the Crabtree Chrome series intended to give brief, high-interest introductions to nonfiction topics. As it could be used for research, I will add this book to my collection.
