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