The Shakespeare Alphabet Book seeks to entertain, educate, and put a little silly into everything from Ariel to 'Zounds! Each letter of the alphabet is paired with some of Shakespeare's greatest characters, portrayed as animals dressed in Elizabethan fashion, and strung together with a simple rhyming narrative: "A is for Ariel, longing to be released." "B is for Bottom, turned into a beast." A gentle introduction for the beginner, a fond amusement for the connoisseur, and good fun for all.

(Applause Books). "With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his." - From SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE Celebrated playwright, critic and essayist George Bernard Shaw was more like the Elizabethan master that he would ever admit. Both men were intristic dramatists who shared a rich and abiding respect for the stage. Shakespeare was the produce of a tempestuous and enlightening era under the reign of his patron, Queen Elizabeth I; while G.B.S. reflected the racy and risque spirt of the late 19th century as the champion of modern drama by playwrights like Ibsen, and, later, himself. Culled from Shaw's reviews, prefaces, letters to actors and critics, and other writings, SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE offers a fascinating and unforgettable portrait of the 16th century playwright by his most outspoken critic. This is a witty and provocative classic that combines Shaw's prodigious critical acumen with a superlative prose style second to none (except, perhaps, Shakespeare!).
