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: A Puffin Book - stories that last a lifetime. Puffin Modern Classics are relaunched under a new logo: A Puffin Book. There are 20 titles to collect in the series, listed below, all with exciting new covers and fun-filled endnotes. London street urchin Smith is 12 years old, and an experienced pick-pocket. One day on Ludgate Hill, he robbed an old gentleman, and one minute later watched him silently murdered by two men, who chased him for the document he had stolen but could not understand. Smith artfully dodges the two men and winds up in the odd company of a wealthy blind man, who takes Smith into his home and provides him with an education. But this new comfort is lost when Smith himself is suspected of the very murder he witnessed. Leon Garfield was a British novelist, born in 1921. He is best known for children's historical novels, though he also wrote for adults. He wrote more than thirty books including Shakespeare's Stories - retellings of Shakespeare's plays for children, and he won many awards including the Guardian Award and the Carnegie Medal. He died in 1996, aged 74. Also available in A Puffin Book: GOODNIGHT MISTER TOM and BACK HOME by Michelle Magorian CHARLOTTE'S WEB, STUART LITTLE and THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN by E. B.
