Summary "Wagner: The Story of the Boy Who Wrote Little Plays" by Thomas Tapper is an educational children's book written in the early 20th century. The book is part of a series called the "Child's Own Book of Great Musicians" aimed at introducing children to the lives of renowned composers. It focuses on the life of Richard Wagner, detailing his journey from a boy with a passion for writing plays to becoming a groundbreaking composer who changed the landscape of opera. The narrative begins with Wagner's birth in Leipzig in 1813 and traces his upbringing after the early loss of his father. Unlike many great musicians, Wagner did not exhibit musical talent until later in his youth; instead, he focused on writing and literature. As he matured, he began composing operas that were distinctly different from his predecessors, bringing to life a myriad of characters—from everyday people to mythical deities. The book captures key moments from Wagner's life and highlights his unique contributions to music, while also encouraging children to engage interactively by pasting in illustrations and writing their own stories about him, thus making learning enjoyable and personal.
