Review: We bought this for my daughter. She was an avid reader at the time and always enjoyed illustrated editions. She enjoyed this thoroughly and has read it cover-to-cover many times. The stories are re-written in a way which is very accessible and the artwork is nice too. If you want a nice, easy introduction to Shakespeare's work for a young adult, then this book is a great place to start.

Review: The book is much as I expected. I bought it for an 8 year old. She might struggle a bit with it at the moment as it is of a high standard, but I think will be of much use to her as she gets older.

    Description: Let's face it. Hearing people talk about Shakespeare can be pretty annoying. Particularly if you feel like you don't understand him. When people talk about which of Shakespeare's plays they like best, or what they thought of so-and-so's performance, they often treat Shakespeare like membership in some exclusive club. If you don't get him, if you don't go to see his plays, you're not truly educated or literate. You might be tempted to ask whether the millions of people who say they love Shakespeare actually know what they're talking about, or are they just sheep? No Fear Shakespeare: A Companion gives you the straight scoop on everything you really need to know about Shakespeare, including: What's so great about Shakespeare? How did Shakespeare get so smart? Five mysteries of Shakespeare's life a?? and why they matter Did someone else write Shakespeare's plays? Where did Shakespeare get his ideas? Shakespeare's world Shakespeare's theater Shakespeare's language The five greatest Shakespeare Characters.
