Adventurer, conqueror, political genius, classical author - Julius Caesar lived one of history's most amazing lives. Yet it was the story of his death that William Shakespeare turned into a dramatic masterpiece. In this spirited retelling, Jim Weiss brings us Shakespeare's cast of immortal characters. With excerpts from the original dialogue (Mark Antony's funeral speech, etc.) told in a way that young listeners can grasp, Jim Weiss's JULIUS CAESAR AND THE STORY OF ROME will nurture a passion for Shakespeare and an understanding of why these people and historical events still shape our world today.
