What on Earth? Wallbook Timeline of Shakespeare Reviews

Christopher Lloyd suggests that if children have exposure to Shakespeare's complete works from the age of 5 they will be far better equipped to deal with the full spectrum of human emotions. During formal education children are rarely guided in how to deal with their feelings, and this may be a way we can help them. All Shakespeare's plays are presented briefly in pictorial form (as Christopher Lloyd says, the plays written to be looked at, not read) with short descriptions of the plot, in an A3 sized format that can be opened up and looked at like a book, or, if you have space, stuck on the wall (this would be good for schools). We also have his "What on Earth" wallbook, but this Shakespeare one has in particular completely captivated the boys' imaginations. Aged from 6 to 10, they can sit for ages trying to interpret the pictures or reading the stories, and have lots of questions which helps me to get thinking too (particularly about the gory ones: there are in fact some similarities to the Horrible Histories!). It works for us, and I would certainly recommend it. By H M Hughes

About Christopher Lloyd

Bestselling author Christopher Lloyd began his career as a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then, while camping with his family, he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn't know. So, he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big stories, opening readers' eyes to how seemingly unrelated events fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world, all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration and photography. Now, with several books in print, including the bestselling What on Earth Happened? and Absolutely Everything!, Chris divides his time between writing books and delivering lectures and workshops to schools, literary festivals, and a wide range of other venues around the world. He lives in Tonbridge, Kent, UK, with his wife and two adorable terriers. Dr Nick Walton is Shakespeare Courses Development Manager at The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Patrick Skipworth studied Classics and Linguistics in London and the Netherlands, connecting the dots between ancient cultures, their histories and their languages. Today, Patrick is a children's book editor, but likes to write his own stories when he can. Some of his favourite topics are prehistoric bugs, super-intelligent robots and legends from far away places. Andy Forshaw graduated in graphic design and illustration from London's Central Saint Martins college, and has worked on numerous online and publishing projects. Since 2010, Andy has created more than 5,000 illustrations for children's books. When not illustrating, Andy can be found exploring the countryside on his bike. He lives in London, UK.
