LITERATURE, BOOKS & WRITERS (CHILDREN'S/TEENAGE). A celebration of the words, phrases, and idioms that Shakespeare invented and the contributions he made to the modern-day English lexicon. The Bard of Avon is responsible for such familiar phrases as "what's done is done" and "too much of a good thing." He even helped turn "household words" into household words. As readers will discover, "the long and the short of it" is this- Will changed the English language forever. Will's words pop up all over the place!. Age 6+
