Tales from Shakespeare (Wordsworth Children's Classics)

This is a great way for a child/young teenager to learn the plot of the Shakespeare plays. It is written in a readable, enjoyable way, making it easy to learn the story and what is actually going on. That makes it easier for the pupil to understand the language that the Bard is using. It was aimed at children when it was written, however, I can see it being helpful even for the GCSE student, to give the overview when starting with a new play - or even the A level student who wants to compare different plays.

Bought it for my 7 year old granddaughter for her to keep and delve into whenever she wishes.

Love that this is written using as much of Shakespeare's language as possible - makes the transition to the 'real thing' so much smoother and easier. It's not dumbed down like some children's Shakespeare stories are. My home-educated kids love the stories.

Very good

Cannot highly recommend this book. A must have one.

I’m the first to admit that I hate reading but was enticed to read this book because of hearing it being read in a film I enjoyed. So it’s a miracle that I can say that I’m enjoying this book. Thank you

Shakespeares classics such as Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet etc but in a shortened versions (10-20 pages average) so that children can read them but not get bored and in a language easier for kids to understand but without losing any of the effect!

So pleased to be able to buy this children's classic which I enjoyed sixty years ago. Hope it gives my grandson an interest in Shakespeare when he's older and able to appreciate the poetry.

A beautiful collection

My daughter who teaches will use it as a refresher

This book is a great way to introduce Shakespeare to kids! The stories are summarized in a simplified, modern, easy to understand way. Our family has read Thrive this book multiple times since we received it.

Gran colección a un precio invatible. Perfecta para chavales que les gusta leer para que se inicien en el idioma ingles.
