Who was the man from Stratford-upon-Avon who changed the world with his words? In this History-Sode, Auntie Jo Jo travels back to 16th-century England to meet William Shakespeare — the boy who became the world’s most famous playwright. Discover how a small-town dreamer wrote about kings, ghosts, love, and courage and explore the spooky, mysterious world of his play Macbeth, filled with witches, prophecies, and lessons about the choices we make. Perfect for curious kids and families planning a visit to Stratford or anyone who loves a little history with their drama.
