WHY HANDEL WAGGLED HIS WIG

What did Haydn's wife use for curling-paper for her hair? What did Schubert do with his old spectacles case? Why was Dvorak given a butcher's apron when he was a little boy? Why did Tchaikovsky spit on a map of Europe? Why did Faure find a plate of spinach on his face? And why did Handel waggle his wig? Renowned cellist Steven Isserlis captures the imagination of children encountering classical music for the first time with this great little book which is packed with facts, dates and anecdotes, interspersed with lively black-and-white line illustrations.
