Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
by Nesbit, E.
Illustrated by Rackham, Arthur
Twenty stories from Shakespeare are retold in lively prose by a superlative storyteller. The author makes Shakespeare's greatest plays accessible to young children by relating the stories that form the core of the plays. Her graceful, vivid retellings are the perfect introduction to Shakespeare's works. The plays included in Nesbit's collection include Shakespeare's most famous comedies and tragedies but few of his historical works.
