It may have been Gertrude Stein who said, A rose is a rose, as she sat around contemplating life with Ernest Hemingway and other greats, but it was William Shakespeare who gave her the idea by first saying, A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. In fact, when you think of everything that Shakespeare has contributed to not only literature, but to the development of the English language, itself, it is mind boggling! As dead as a doornail, as good luck would have it, as pure as the driven snow, and even the phrase ‘fancy free, ’ are all said to originate from the works of the great William Shakespeare. This is what Penelope Dyan had in mind as she traveled through the small town of Stratford-upon-Avon, to see (not so much a place) as to get a feel of this place that inspired the life and times of William Shakespeare. Written in verse, so kids can also practice reading skills by shouting what comes next in the text, and conveying a very positive message, this book is also accompanied by the photography of John D. Weigand, making this book a travel guide of a very different kind that entertains as it encourages kids to think. There is also a music video on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel that goes along with this book to further enhance the learning experience
