Young William Shakespeare discovers that words can be as evasive as they are inspiring, but the best ones are worth the effort to tame into stories.With quotes and sly references to the famous works of William Shakespeare and the words he invented, this adventurous ode to language will delight readers young and old.It all starts one morning when words fly into William’s window. He wants to catch them, but they are flibbertigibbety and quick and slip right through his fingers.
