The Best of Shakespeare: Retellings of 10 Classic Plays (Opie Library) Book

Yes, the name is familiar. E. Nesbit, who died in 1924, gave us The Railway Children and The Enchanted Castle. Now, with the publication of the Shakespeare stories she wrote (at their request) for her own children, adults and kids together can enjoy her fairy-tale prose in the retelling of 10 of Shakespeare's greatest stories. If you aren't sure you remember which daughter Lear visited first, who was traveling with Macbeth when he met those witches, or just why Rosalind was wandering around in the forest dressed like a boy--check here. Wonderful on their own, these retellings are also great preparation for any early theater or film excursion into these timeless plays. [The publishers recommend this book for ages 11 to adult, and they're right.]Read More

  • Product Description

    Shakespeare s plays tell the stories of kings and queens, of ghosts and witches, of romance and passion. But to get to the stories at the heart of the Bard s plays, the reader must first work through Shakespeare s language -- a task often too demanding for younger readers (and for many adults). This new paperback edition brings ten of Shakespeare s greatest plays to life. E. Nesbit, the classic British children s author, shakes off the burdensome complexity of Shakespeare s language and tells the stories at the core of the plays with a generous sprinkle of wit and humor. Author: E. NesbitReading Level: Ages 9-12Format: 112 pages, Paperback Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (March 9, 1999) ISBN: 978-0195132137
