Winter Song - Hardcover
Charming illustrations open the door to the world of William Shakespeare. Icicles hang by the wall, children's noses are red and raw, and Joan is busy in the kitchen stirring the pot. It is winter in Shakespeare's England. Shakespeare wrote a number of songs for his own productions. Among the most charming is "Winter Song," performed at the end of his romantic comedy Lover's Labor's Lost. Melanie Hall's illustrated version of the poem is filled with bold and beautiful images that bring to life the wintry world of Elizabethan England.

Kindergarten-Grade 4–Shakespeare's Love's Labor's Lost is perhaps most notable for its sprightly wordplay and poetry; the comedy concludes with two poems, Spring Song and Winter Song. In this picture book, Hall interprets the latter with colorful mixed-media illustrations. Double-page scenes of an Elizabethan winter bring to life each line of the poem, and a brief glossary explains such phrases as roasted crabs hiss in the bowl and keel the pot. Cozy indoor and outdoor scenes pulse with swirls of color and flowing lines, confirming that even during the bleakest days, one can find hope and merriment. Alice Provensen's brief introduction helps relate Shakespeare's words to today's young readers. Larger collections will want to consider this book for its notable artwork and general introduction to the Bard.–Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA
