Retold with wit and panache, the Bard's timeless tales are alive and well and accessible to a younger generation. Cleverly reworked prose retellings retain many of Shakespeare's own famous turns of phrase, while simplifying and clarifying the language and plots to make stories accessible to children. Young readers can follow Puck on his mischievous midsummer adventures, hear the prophecy of the witches in Macbeth, and be swept away by the romance of Romeo and Juliet. Lively artwork accompanies each spread, bringing these best-loved tales to life. 16 softcovers. Ages 7 and up.
