Wonderful Book To Introduce Your Children to Shakespere, Jan 3 2008
By K. Alphs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare (Paperback)
When searching for a child friendly book of stories based on William Shakespere's works I came across this little gem. The book is authored by Edith Nesbit, best known for her books "The Railway Children, Five Children and It and The Enchanted Castle." Edith has done a beautiful job of translating Shakespere's works into stories which will engage children in the classic works such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear." This is a delightful way to introduce your children to the world of William Shakespere.

Great as a read aloud, Jun 13 2011
By MeaganS - Published on Amazon.com
I read this book out loud to my daughter. Many of the plays were ones I was not familiar with, so I learned a thing or two myself. The formatting for the Kindle was great and I found the book itself quite charming.

We really like this one for Shakespeare stories, May 9 2012

My eight year old and I like this one better than Lamb's version. It is easier for her to understand because it is written in a more modern English style.
