5.0 out of 5 stars Great for me and the kids, November 4, 2004

I never read Shakespeare, but wanted my children to experience him. I bought this tape thinking I would listen to it, and maybe my young kids (5 & 3) would like it in a few years. They LOVE it now. They actually ask for it over the Arthur and Disney tapes. How great is that!
Now I am buying one for my daughter's 1st grade teacher.

I could never comprehend Shakespeare in highschool. As a homeschooler now of 4 children, I wanted to "enrich" my children's literary repertiore so I bought this tape for them. Well, I can't tell who likes it more the kids or myself. Jim Weiss is EXCELLENT in depicting the character voices and the dramatic nuances are an absolute riot. If the rating system allowed, I would have given it 10 stars!

*sigh* The assumptions others have drawn at the thought of a younger child who enjoys Shakespeare or other classics! My 5.5 year-old liked the sound of a BBC radio version of The Tempest that I was listening to and wanted more stories like it so I ordered this. She totally enjoyed this. I would like to assure our friends over the pond that she is otherwise perfectly normal and enjoys Spongebob just as much.
