More DescriptionWith quotes and sly references to the famous works of William Shakespeare and the words he invented, this adventurous ode to language will delight readers young and old. It all starts one morning when words fly into William's window. He wants to catch them, but they are flibbertigibbety and quick and slip right through his fingers.

William remains persistent, and with time and the proper tools he finds a way to keep the words with him.
