Review: An exceptional illustrated and abridged adaptation of Shakespeare works - This book is such a blessing for anyone looking for an abridged and illustrated edition of popular Shakespeare stories. The stories are very concise, yet, not too dumbed down or simplified like so many other abridged versions for children, hence a good eloquent writing style is maintained throughout which I very much appreciate. Every story has an introductory cast of characters page followed by a famous quote from the play before the story begins, which is extremely helpful in setting the tone for young readers. I read the Shakespeare stories edition by E.Nesbit as a child and even though that is a very good and probably best story edition of Shakespeare available, when I read it at 10 yrs of age, I really longed for illustrations to help me catch the mood and imagine the premise of each story better. I so wish I had this illustrated version to read at that age, I would have thoroughly enjoyed this book as a child. The illustrations are in a particular folkish style (don't know if that is an apt word to describe it) with very vibrant colors, that does catch the eye as being unique after seeing the disneyish type of illustrations time and again in contemporary children's books. The more important point is, the tales are adorned with illustrations generously which would be a very helpful feature for elementary school age children. Overall, a very good illustrated and abridged Shakespeare edition for children. Would not advice for below 8 as it would be difficult to fully experience and assimilate the themes earlier than 8, even for children who are avid readers, they are not going to retain much if they experience this book any younger than 8. Highly recommend for upper elementary and middle school age - 9 to13. Update - My son who has always been an advanced reader, is immensely enjoying this book at the moment as a 6th grader, age 11. Review: Love this literature! - As a retired English professor, I am always looking for ways to share good age-appropriate literature with my grandchildren. This Shakespeare collection is impressive. The content, illustrations, and efforts to “be true” to the Bard are all reasons to get this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #51,236 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #121 in Children's Performing Arts Fiction #172 in Children's Short Story Collections #1,027 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 768 Reviews | ## Images ![A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories: 12 Tales from the world's most famous playwright (Volume 3) (World Full of..., 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818npTbG3nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional illustrated and abridged adaptation of Shakespeare works *by N***U on October 26, 2018* This book is such a blessing for anyone looking for an abridged and illustrated edition of popular Shakespeare stories.
