This book has actually been around for a couple of decades prior to 1985 as I remember the same book, same illustrations, from my childhood in the 70s. A friend of my parents had a copy and I would look at it every time we visited, which was frequently. It contains quotes from many Shakespeare plays and a different old-fashioned, well-drawn illustration to color in for each one. The illustrations are extremely detailed, and are the work of many different illustrators, so they all look different. As a kid of about 9-11 I found the pictures very intriguing (like, what's up with that man who has a donkey's head? They definitely motivated me to learn more about the plots behind the pictures.Eventually I grew up, moved away, the family friend had a house fire that affected many of her possessions and I lost track of the Shakespeare book. I was so happy to re-discover this book on a trip to Shakespeare's birthplace a few years ago, and even happier to find it here on as I now find myself needing a second copy. If your children are the slightest bit interested in Shakespeare, the theater, or fairy-tale illustration, they should like this book, and bard-loving adults will appreciate it also.
We are using this book with our homeschool history curriculum (History Odyssey Middle Ages, Level 2) and enjoying it. My 12 year old son is putting together a Shakespeare book as he reads about the playwright and studies his plays/time period. The line drawings are detailed and fun to color.
The pictures throughout the coloring book are from varied plays, the illustrations are detailed and appropriate for each play, the bonus is that they come with a quote from the text. As an English teacher I love Shakespeare, this is something I purchased on a whim to add onto an order to be eligible for same day delivery, I cannot believe I did not purchase this earlier. It is not for a young child, as some of the quotes and pictures are for a more mature audience.
I am very pleased with this book for a niece aged 8. It will be a fun introduction to the Bard, and a good conversation starter with her parents.
