This fictionalized amalgamation of original and secondary source materials is presented with panache. In an effort to "piece together the story," the authors succinctly sum up Shakespeare's life and works with the help of snippets from his plays. Contemporaneous images and literary excerpts, in addition to pop-ups, foldouts, and removable letters, help set the scene for readers.
