My Review
If you want to familiarise children with Shakespeare's best known stories, these books are a great place to start. They have none of the original language of the plays, but tell their plots in an easy and engaging format that will make Shakespeare feel easy and accessible for any child. It's such a great confidence boost for children to feel they have read all of Shakespeare's stories and found them easy and fun! When they've chosen a favourites and know the plots well, they will have a firm foundation to build on with more in depth knowledge of some of the speeches and key moments of the plays in the original language if they want to.
Heads Up!
Buy these as a box set!
