Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Heart of a Child The little girl who is the subject of this book was a child of freedom. Although she loved Shakespeare with an ever-growing affection, she was never tied to books. Her first desire always was to explore, whether in the attic at home, or in the woods and fields, or in strange cities, or in books. Her earliest explorations were out-of-doors. She had that close intimacy with nature which only children and poets may possess. When she was a mere baby she would trudge about for hours hold ing some cherished blossom or some green leaf tipped with red clasped tight in her little hand, content to watch and listen and finding every moment some new thing to admire. She was sensitive to nature's moods. The wind was her playfellow on boisterous days; on a sultry, cloudy morning, she whispered, It listens like rain. And, at a later age, she declared, Everybody who is well and can be out-of doors must be perfectly happy.'

Henry VI. Spirits are not finely touch'd But to fine issues. Measure For Measure. WHEN Master William Shakespeare went up to London to seek his fortune he left his wife and their little ones in his father's home in Henley Street. At that time his father and mother, with three of their children ? Joan, a merry-eyed lass of sixteen, Richard, and Edmund?the latter a small lad of five years?were living in the old house. Gilbert, the son next in age to William, was away in Snitterfield, at his Uncle Henry's farm, whither Richard followed him a couple of years later. There was a warm welcome ready for the little family from those good, true hearts, and the passing years only made the ties of affection stronger. It was very pleasant for the elder Mistress Shakespeare to have the continual companionship of herdaughter-in-law, Anne. There was something so lovable about the creature that none could resist her. She had a way of slipping into a body's heart willy-nilly, and taking up her home there. Her low voice and gay laughter were goodly sounds to hear, while her fondness for her children was the touchingest thing in the world. The two women, though they were each a trifle jealous of the other, as is often the case with very worthy women, were drawn closely together by their love for the little ones. Master John Shakespeare, worried and worn with the sad stress into which his affairs had fallen, had lost much of the jovial cheer which had been so marked a characteristic of his in earlier life. He had grown silent, too?he who had always been so ready with his lively sallies ?and the wish to keep from his fellows was one that...

Book excerpt: In Alice McDermott's first work of fiction since her best-selling, National Book Award-winning Charming Billy, a woman recalls her fifteenth summer with the wry and bittersweet wisdom of hindsight. The beautiful child of older parents, raised on the eastern end of Long Island, Theresa is her town's most sought-after babysitter--cheerful, poised, an effortless storyteller, a wonder with children and animals. Among her charges this fateful summer is Daisy, her younger cousin, who has come to spend a few quiet weeks in this bucolic place. While Theresa copes with the challenge presented by the neighborhood's waiflike children, the tumultuous households of her employers, the attentions of an aging painter, and Daisy's fragility of body and spirit, her precocious, tongue-in-check sense of order is tested as she makes the perilous crossing into adulthood. In her deeply etched rendering of all that happened that seemingly idyllic season, McDermott once again peers into the depths of everyday life with inimitable insight and grace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Shakespeare However, with the help of Prospero's great enemy, Alonso, King of Naples, he managed to get into his hands the dukedom, with all its honor, power, and riches. For they took Prospero to sea, and when they were far away from land, forced him into a little boat with no tackle, mast or sail. In, their cruelty and hatred they put his little daughter, Miranda (not yet three years Old), into the boat with him, and sailed away, leaving them to their fate. But one among the courtiers with Antonio was true to his right ful master, Prospero. To save the duke from his enemies was im possible, but much could be done to remind him of a subject's love. So this worthy lord, whose name was Gonzalo, secretly placed in the boat some fresh water, provisions, and clothes, and what Pros pero valued most of all, some of his precious books. The boat was cast on an island, and Prospero and his little one landed in safety. Now this island was enchanted, and for years had lain under the spell of a fell witch, Sycorax, who had imprisoned in the trunks of trees all the good spirits she found there. She died shortly before Prospero was cast on those shores, but the spirits, Of whom Ariel was the chief, still remained in their prisons. Prospero was a great magician, for he had devoted himself almost entirely to the study of magic during the years in which he allowed his brother to manage the affairs of Milan. By his art he set free the imprisoned spirits, yet kept them obedient to his will, and they were more truly his subjects than his people in Milan had been. For he treated them kindly as long as they did his bid ding, and he exercised his power over them wisely and well. One creature alone he found it necessary to treat with harshness: this was Caliban, the son of the wicked Old witch, a hideous, deformed monster, horrible to look on, 'and vicious and brutal in all his habits.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Heartbeat written by Kelly Hunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children on the autistic spectrum experience varying degrees of difficulties; all of which can be understood as a disassociation of mind and body. Expressing feelings, making eye contact, keeping a steady heartbeat and recognizing faces are all part of the autism dilemma which can be poetically explored by Shakespeare. Over ten years, Hunter worked with children on all points of the spectrum, developing drama games for the specific purpose of combatting autism. These unique games, derived from specific moments in the plays, shed new light on how to teach Shakespeare to children, using the drama as an exploration of how it feels to be alive. Shakespeare’s Heartbeat is a step-by-step guide, detailing how to demonstrate, play and share these sensory games. The book includes: Games based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream Games based on The Tempest Tips and advice for playing one-on-one with the children An afterword describing Hunter’s journey from performer and practitioner to creator of this work. Shakespeare’s poetic definitions of seeing, thinking and loving reveal the very processes that children with autism find so difficult to achieve. This book provides an indispensable learning tool for those wishing to encourage children’s eye contact and facial expression, improve their spatial awareness and language skills and introduce them to imaginative play.
