Why Handel Waggled His Wig published by Faber & Faber.
And Lots More Stories About the Lives of Great Composers
And why did Handel waggle his wig?
In Why Beethoven Threw the Stew, the famous cellist Steven Isserlis set out to pass on to children a wonderful gift given to him by his own cello teacher - the chance to people his own world with the great composers by getting to know them as friends.
In his new book he draws us irresistibly into the world of six more favourite composers, bringing them alive in a manner that cannot fail to catch the imagination of any child. Packed with colourful stories about these amazing characters and their friends and interspersed with lively black-and-white line illustrations, this book is an attractive and accessible read for children to enjoy on their own or share with an adult.
