Featuring; Much Ado about nothing; Julius Caesar; Antony and Cleopatra; Measure for Measure; As you like it; Cymbeline; Richard III; Comedy of Errors and Winter's Tale. As in the first volume, Garfieldintroduces the younger reader to Shakespeare by a skilful weaving of phrases from the original into his re-telling. And the illustrations, particularly the color plates, really bring the whole thing to life
This is the second book in a series of Shakespeare stories for younger children. I have both books at my house that I keep for my Grandchildren to read and bought my Granddaughter both books for her own library when she was 10. It is a great way for the younger age child to be introduced to Shakespeare and helps the child's interest to want to read Shakespeare's plays when they get older. Enjoyable and reader-friendly to the younger reading set.
Garfield knows how to retell Shakespeare's stories, include some original dialogue, and not be boring. Great way to intoduce children to Shakespeare. This also goes great with his Shakespeare: the Animated Tales on dvd.
