- Enthralling prose retellings for young readers of some of Shakespeare's most beloved works. This selection of works features The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, King Lear, Macbeth, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, and Othello.
- 'It took me a long time to get through this book because I would read one story and then read something else before I came back for another Shakespeare story. This book is edited down so each story is about 20 pages long but still uses the same kind of Shakespeare language so you feel like you are really smart when you are reading it.
I am amazed at how many plots he came up with and they resonate still today. His stories can take place in any time and at any place in the world. It is a great book if you want to get into Shakespeare but don't know where to start.'
