King of Shadows
King of Shadows | Susan Cooper
2 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Only in the world of the theater can Nat Field find an escape from the tragedies that have shadowed his young life. So he is thrilled when he is chosen to join an American drama troupe traveling to London to perform A Midsummer Night's Dream in a new replica of the famous Globe theater. Shortly after arriving in England, Nat goes to bed ill and awakens transported back in time four hundred years -- to another London, and another production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Amid the bustle and excitement of an Elizabethan theatrical production, Nat finds the warm, nurturing father figure missing from his life -- in none other than William Shakespeare himself. Does Nat have to remain trapped in the past forever, or give up the friendship he's so longed for in his own time?

An enchanting children's story about time travel involving theatre and Shakespeare. I think this is one of Susan Cooper's lesser-known books that #needsmorelove. This cover probably needed more hate so that it was never approved. Elizabethan neck ruff plus sneakers and skateboard? Done! Time travel cover 🙈 #timeaftertime #AugustGrrrl #AndItsAugust @Cinfhen @RealLifeReading

I'm planning a scheme of work based around King of Shadows for middle ability year 7 students. Better get stuck in!
