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.

Sam Newman's cleverly reworked text retains many of Shakespeare's own inimitable turns of phrase, while simplifying and clarifying the language to make stories accessible to children.
