Wonderful Book To Introduce Your Children to Shakespere,
By
This review is from: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare (Paperback)
When searching for a child friendly book of stories based on William Shakespere's works I came across this little gem. The book is authored by Edith Nesbit, best known for her books "The Railway Children, Five Children and It and The Enchanted Castle." Edith has done a beautiful job of translating Shakespere's works into stories which will engage children in the classic works such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear." This is a delightful way to introduce your children to the world of William Shakespere.

Great as a read aloud,
This review is from: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare (Kindle Edition)
I read this book out loud to my daughter. Many of the plays were ones I was not familiar with, so I learned a thing or two myself. The formatting for the Kindle was great and I found the book itself quite charming.
