Wagner : The Story of the Boy Who Wrote Little Plays

A lively children's biography recounts the subject's childhood, family background, and early attraction to writing little plays before he embraced music studies. It outlines his development from imitating contemporary models to creating freer operatic forms, and presents vivid scenes and characters from well-known operas—townspeople, gods, heroes, and mythical beings—alongside descriptions of memorable melodies and dramatic episodes. The narrative is illustrated and designed as an interactive project: children cut and paste pictures, answer simple questions, and write their own short account, reinforcing basic facts while encouraging imaginative engagement with the composer's theatrical music.
