Title: Grand music - Storyline fiction not history
Review: Handel's music is, of course, grand and beautiful. I applaud Susan Hammond's creativity and her hopes to introduce children to classical music. However, the fictional storyline is just that....fictional. Your (and your child's) impression and "memories" of Handel will forever falsely be tied to this fictional storyline of Thomas, Katerina, and Handel which never occured. There are of course elements of truth in the storyline but the majority never happened. Buy some CD's of Handel's wonderful music and listen with your family! There are several good books you can read about Handel's real life and they are not boring.
Is the review positive or negative?
