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.
When there's snow outside, and all the sensible bunnies are
snuggled up in their burrows, they never feel lonely, because
bunnies have very big families, and they all have a lot to say...In
this charming collection, twelve members of one rabbit family -
everyone from the tiniest baby bunny to the oldest
great-great-great-grandfather - tell stories that will make your
ears wiggle! You can read Great-Uncle Otto's Tale of the Big Bad
Bunny, Cousin Hoppity's Tale of the Best Birthday, Baby Honeybun's
Tale of the Talking Toy, and many more. Children will love the
beautifully detailed artwork - and if you look very carefully, you
might uncover a carrot or two concealed on every page. You don't
often see a bunny by herself. That is because rabbits like nothing
better than being together, huddled up in their warm burrows as one
big, happy family. Of course, those burrows can be pretty noisy
places, with everyone trying to talk at the same time. Bunnies love
to tell stories, and you can read some of them in this book. Do you
know what happens when a rabbit eats too much fudge? Or gets too
friendly with a fox? Or tries to make a wedding dress at the very
last minute? Read this collection of bunny tales and you will soon
find out...
