Shakespeare Retold Synopsis

A beautifully illustrated collection of prose retellings of seven Shakespeare plays will bring the Bard to life for young readers. Not only is this a beautiful keepsake edition, full of gorgeous illustrations by Antonio Javier Caparo, but the prose retellings by beloved classic children's book author E. Nesbit are an excellent tool to introduce children to the complex language of Shakespeare.

A foreword by John Lithgow touches on his own childhood as a Shakespearean actor and the importance of Shakespeare. The book contains extensive support materials, including a biography, a timeline of Shakespeare's life, and further recommended readings.

In this volume, you will find:

  • Romeo and Juliet
  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
  • Twelfth Night
  • Hamlet
  • Macbeth
  • The Tempest
  • Much Ado About Nothing
