About the Author:
Gina Pollinger is an editor for children's books in the US and the UK.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-8?In this lively presentation, carefully selected quotations are presented quite attractively. Pulled in by the endpapers, readers open to a bright child-friendly pattern of words, pictures, and decoration. There is not one word in the body of the text?including section titles?that is not by Shakespeare. Pollinger has assembled quotes so that youngsters move from the passage of a day to the highlights of a life (childhood, young love, etc.) into such issues as intrigue, war, virtue, and evil. All of the quotations are out of context, but they are carefully documented so that curious readers can easily find them within the play. Clark's gift for vigorous caricature has produced illustrations that evoke the feeling of even the gloomier or more frightening moments without disturbing the overall brightness of the book. Several of the quotations have words at variance with standard text (most likely the result of new scholarship), a bit jarring when a familiar passage such as "To be or not to be..." is read. A quick Shakespeare bio, an index to the plays quoted, a first-line index, and a short glossary close the volume. This sampler, fuller but in the spirit of Under the Greenwood Tree (Stemmer House, 1986) is yet another opportunity for a happy nodding acquaintance with the language at its best.?Sally Margolis, formerly at Deerfield Public Library,
