Take your place in the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's day to see seven of his best-loved plays in performance.

Format:Paperback
A beautiful introduction to Shakespeare's most popular plays, perfect in every detail. Marcia Williams crystallises the plots of seven plays, each captured in four pages of comic strip. The result is accessible to quite small children while capturing all the magic and richness of the originals. My seven-year-old daughter's copy is falling apart from overuse. Please can we have a second volume (Othello, Twelfth Night, Lear...)?

Format:Paperback
I bought this to help teach Year 5/6 (9-11 years) children about Shakespeare and his work. I particularly like the way the simple narrative is presented alongside some of the original dialogue. As with the Greek Myths book by the same Author, this provides a lively and colourful introduction to this area of literature.

Format:Paperback
Simplified versions of Shakespeare's plays, very cleverly re-told in cartoon strips, that helps bring them to life for children (and adults) to understand.

a little too authentic for my liking
I thought these books would be a fun way to introduce some plays by Shakespeare to my son. However, it includes several lines from the play itself which is a bit daunting. Read more
