Summary: Charming Collection for All Ages
Review: Shakespeare has ever been an 'Evergreen Exceptional' Read with its rich Literature, most admirable characters in unforgettable plays. Jennifer's series of Shakespeare plays is an easy read for all ages with lively introductions, story theme, character profile, knowing background, quotations and superbly illustrated pics. Apart from As you Like It, the Jennifer's series include all Shakespeare plays like Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Othello, The tempest, Twelfth Night, King Lear, Macbeth and so on. In As You Like it, the intro begins with the Elizabethan country Life details, briefly saying about the country lifestyles, labourers, honest farmers and country amusements. Following chapter says when the play was written and how shakespeare borrowed his story from a romance by Thomas Lodge called Rosalynde and made it so very different and lively. A brief story line 'As You Like It' gives the theme story in brief para styles and highlighted verses from the Play Acts in block forms. All the world's a Stage says about the seven ages of man with wonderful illustrated pic. The play's characters gives a glimpse into knowing them well at a glance. The Life and plays of shakespeare is listed which is very informative. The index section is a handy search on the back page. The Book is great piece for all ages and I recommed that such a collection is worth a pick and must for any home, school or library.
