Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
AUTHOR: Edith NesbitILLUSTRATOR: Arthur Rackham

FROM SARAH:
Nesbit is a skilled short story writer, and her Shakespeare stories are simple, well done, and still maintain the wit and whimsy of the Bard. Easy to follow, though it does cut larger portions of the storyline than some other versions. There is good use of Shakespeare’s original language in her retelling. Recommended for ages 8+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
William Shakespeare is arguably the most pivotal and widely read figure in the history of English literature. This comprehensive collection highlights some of the bard’s best works, adapted to be more easily read and digestible for children.
