Nesbit is a lovely introduction to Shakespeare.
I was a bit disappointed to find some of the titles we were planning had not been included in this 20 story printing. (They are all available in the public domain at Gutenberg.org.)

The Kindle Edition has no pictures, but throughout the text you see the words "Please keep picture HTML" this is very off-putting & interferes with reading.
I guess you get what you pay for.
