Description
The Merchant of Venice A Shakespeare Story by Andrew Matthews and William Shakespeare is an accessible retelling of this story. In 16th-century Venice, a merchant named Antonio borrows money to help his friend woo a beautiful lady. However, the terms of the loan are harsh: if he can't repay Shylock, the moneylender, Shylock can take a pound of his flesh. When disaster strikes and Antonio's ships sink, leaving him with nothing, Shylock insists on collecting the debt in full. This gripping story explores themes of love, hate, and mercy as Antonio navigates a desperate situation. With engaging illustrations by Tony Ross, this book brings the world of Shakespeare to life for young readers. Part of The Shakespeare Stories series, this book offers a fresh take on a story that continues to captivate audiences today.
