Youngsters love stories about kings and queens, ghosts and witches. Shakespeare's plays are loaded with these elements. But most children (like many adults) find Shakespeare difficult to decipher. Author Edith Nesbit, fulfilling a request from her own children, turned ten of the Bard's most famous stories into delightful tales filled with tragedy, irony, and moral lessons and tells them vividly with wit and grace. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, As You Like It, and four others are delightfully illustrated.
