This beautifully illustrated compendium brings the Bard’s timeless tales to life for a younger generation, with wit and panache.
Shakespeare’s plays have been beloved for so many years that his characters and words have shaped our world today. This collection has adapted these works for younger readers, introducing them iconic characters such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt.
