Overview
Bring the world's greatest playwright into your child's bookshelf with this complete 20-book paperback set of Shakespeare Children's Stories. Each title retells one celebrated tragedy, comedy or history in simple, engaging language for readers aged 7-9. Compact and colourfully covered, this collection is an ideal first introduction to the Bard for home reading, school libraries or as a thoughtful gift.
About the Books
This complete boxed collection gathers 20 individually titled paperbacks, each dedicated to a single Shakespeare play, from beloved tragedies like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark and The Tragedy of Macbeth, to much-loved comedies including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It, alongside histories such as Julius Caesar and King Lear. The stories have been carefully retold and simplified so children can follow the plots, meet the characters and enjoy the drama without untangling Shakespeare's original Elizabethan language, while still keeping the intrigue, romance, humour and tragedy at the heart of each tale. Presented in short chapters with accessible vocabulary, the set works beautifully as a read-aloud collection, a classroom literature resource, or a stepping stone before studying the real plays at secondary school. Matching paperback covers mean all 20 books slot neatly together, building a child's home library one classic story at a time, ready to dip into whenever a new adventure calls.
