This children's book retells twelve of Shakespeare's most popular plays as stories for children. Each of the plays are rewritten as short stories or fairy tales suitable to keep the attention of child readers or listeners. The introduction of the book cites a child's ability and desire to become familiar with the works of Shakespeare as a stepping-stone toward a greater appreciation of the actual plays later in life.

Great!

Such a helpful abridgement of the plays. Beautifully written, and we'll read by the various readers. Special shout out to Ruth Golding for her lovely singing.
