This handsome interactive volume, similar to the "Ology" series also published by Candlewick (the highly popular Pirateology, Dragonology, etc.), purports to be William Shakespeare's personal scrapbook, put together in April, 1613, on the eve of his retirement from London to Stratford-upon Avon.
The book is filled with all kinds of fun envelopes and tiny books to open and peruse, as well as a plethora of color illustrations. Candlewick provides a You-Tube video in which each page is turned and t...more

I love this one. The pieces thata are put in the book feel very real. All little notes are very ...special and intimate. Holding them in hands feels breathtaking. I know this book is designed for kids , but I felt such joy and happiness having thin one to read.
If you've ever seen Dragonology or Egyptology or Pirateology or ANY of the "Ology" books, that's what this book is like, except about Shakespeare, which makes it infinitely cooler than any of the other ones. They should have called it "Bardology".
This scrapbook, reminiscent of the Ology series, contains quotes, asides, and artifacts highlighting Shakespeare's life and the time period in which he lived.
The research, writing, and additional flaps and foldouts in the book were outstanding, but I found the type small and hard to read and many of the pictures were dark and dull.
