Christopher Lloyd graduated with a double first in history from Cambridge in 1990 and went on to become the Technology Editor for The Sunday Times. He left in 2000 to become CEO of Immersive Education in Oxford before becoming an author in 2006. His best selling history of the world, called What on Earth Happened? (Bloomsbury 2008) is now in 15 languages and has sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide. He established his own publishing house What on Earth Publishing in Spring 2010 and has published a series of timelines in collaboration with illustrator Andy Forshaw covering history, nature, science, sport, Shakespeare and Magna Carta. Christopher is now in great demand as a lecturer and storyteller in schools, museums and at literary festivals throughout the UK and abroad. He divides his time between lecturing and writing.
Christopher Lloyd suggests that if children have exposure to Shakespeare's complete works from the age of 5 they will be far better equipped to deal with the full spectrum of human emotions. During formal education children are rarely guided in how to deal with their feelings, and this may be a way we can help them. All Shakespeare's plays are presented briefly in pictorial form (as Christopher Lloyd says, the plays written to be looked at, not read) with short descriptions of the plot, in an A3 sized format that can be opened up and looked at like a book, or, if you have space, stuck on the wall (this would be good for schools). We also have his "What on Earth" wallbook, but this Shakespeare one has in particular completely captivated the boys' imaginations. Aged from 6 to 10, they can sit for ages trying to interpret the pictures or reading the stories, and have lots of questions which helps me to get thinking too (particularly about the gory ones: there are in fact some similarities to the Horrible Histories!). It works for us, and I would certainly recommend it. By H M Hughes
