We are thrilled he loved Will's Words and it is great that he put up a review. :) Thanks for sharing! ~Jess and StephanieDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-14376288354878008452016-12-31T12:35:18.467-05:002016-12-31T12:35:18.467-05:00Hi Jane, Jess and Steph ... (he couldn't post...Hi Jane, Jess and Steph ... (he couldn't post the comment himself for some reason) but this has come through from my ecstatic lad - looks like I'll have an English convert on my hands very soon!:<br /><br />"good idea you adding my comment to yours. i like that idea. the one i did on amazon was long and i added more stuff about genre and disagreeing with editors pick for age group. they said 3 to 6 and i think its middle grade and could be a good intro to Shakespeare for y.a. and adults and get them wanting to find out more.<br /><br />for sure it got me more interested. i even when and read summaries of a few of his plays. i checked out romeo and Juliet, hamlet, mcbeth, timon of Athes and titus andronicus. yikes! all today's blood and gore movies doesn't have anything on the tragedy titus andronicus. it's got limbs cut off, tongue cut out, rape, killings, i person buried alive, cannibalism and insanity. the summary says there's "an average of 5.2 atrocities per act, or one for every 97 lines."<br /><br />anyway heres my cut down version off what i put on amazon (it already showed up on amazon). i added the first couple lines about the blog interview. you could leave out whatever you want to or change it up however you want to.<br /> <br />it’s really cool to read interviews with authors and find out about them and what makes them tick. i liked learning about miss jane and about her current books and the new ones that will be coming out.<br />i got Wills Words as a Christmas gift from my “grandblogmom” miss hilary who lives in england. wow! what a surprise to find out today we still use lots of words and phrases written by william shakespeare hundreds of years ago. how cool is that!<br /><br />the book taught me a lot of stuff about shakespeare, the days of london play houses and the people who went to the plays. i was surprised only men and boys acted in the plays. no women allowed! and for sure i was surprised the audience could be rowdy and rude … yell and toss stuff at the actors. yikes! who’d want to get a ripe tomato smack in face right in the middle of saying a line. splat!<br />you know what else surprised me? after reading this book, i wanted to know if there are more of his words and phrases we still use today. i did some research and found out there are lots more. and, even more surprising, i want to learn more about shakespeare, his plays and poems. but…don’t tell the guys. i don’t want to be a "laughing stock" (will’s words from The Merry Wives of Windsor)."<br /><br />Happy New Year to one and all ... this is a great thumbs up to you Jane ...
