Description

Twelve of Shakespeare's most famous plays are brought to life in this entertaining collection of short stories specially adapted for young readers.

Fully realised by noted author E. Nesbit, these tales capture the vital events and use some of the original wording, serving as a perfect introduction to Shakespeare for preteens and as literate refreshers for older readers.

Featuring Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Cymbeline, The Taming of the Shrew, Pericles, and The Winter's Tale, these stories are filled with tragedy, humor, and moral lessons.
