Four hundred years ago, no one bothered to write down the exact words of stage plays. Characters' lines were scribbled on small rolls of paper (as in, an actor's role) and passed around, but no master script was saved for the future. The main reason we've heard of Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and Shakespeare himself is that a group of people made the excellent choice to preserve the plays after the Bard died. If they hadn't created the book known as the First Folio, Shakespeare and his works would surely have been lost to history. Part literary scavenger hunt (the search for every existing First Folio continues today), part book trivia treasure trove, and part love letter to Shakespeare, this behind-the-scenes, sharply funny true story is an ideal introduction to the Bard and his famous plays"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t Plays. $s First Folio $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Early printed books $y 17th century $v Juvenile literature. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048. 630 07 $a Plays (Shakespeare, William) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01789966. 650 7 $a Early printed books $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900645. 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast. 655 7 $a Juvenile works $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637. 700 1 $a Sevilla, Marta $c (Illustrator), $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010620.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010539.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A4CF616091211EFA2C9076631ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
