This title features six illustrated stories from Shakespeare. Six
of Shakespeare's most famous plays are beautifully illustrated in
this collection of dramatic retellings. It is an inspiring
introduction to the intricate comedies of A Midsummer Night's Dream
and Twelfth Night, the tragedies of Hamlet and Macbeth, and the
contrasting love stories of Romeo and Juliet and Antony and
Cleopatra. Specially retold by Nicola Baxter and with sumptuous
paintings by Jenny Thorne, this timeless book brings the classic
plays to life in an easy-to-understand format. William Shakespeare
was born in England, in 1564, and is probably the best-known
playwright and poet in the world. Even those who have never seen or
read his work unknowingly use his language every day, as numerous
phrases have passed into common use. His plays are enormously
varied - as this book demonstrates - including histories, comedies
and tragedies. Six of them are summarized here, with extracts from
the original plays to encourage young readers to look at the
complete texts or - even better - see them performed.
