Covering tragedies, comedies and romances, the collection introduces children to iconic characters and stories such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth.

Young readers can follow Puck's mischief in A Midsummer Night's Dream, tremble at the witches' prophecy in Macbeth, and be swept up in the romance of Romeo and Juliet, all without wrestling with unabridged Elizabethan verse. The sixteen plays span Shakespeare's full range: tragedies like King Lear, Othello and Hamlet; comedies including Twelfth Night and The Comedy of Errors; and romances such as The Winter's Tale and The Tempest. Presented as a boxed set, the books form a ready-made library that lets children explore Shakespeare's world play by play, building familiarity that will help when they later encounter the original texts at school. The clear, lively narration keeps pages turning without talking down to its audience, and the uniform paperback format makes the set easy to store, share and revisit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set of 16 individual Shakespeare paperbacks in one box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild-friendly retellings that simplify language without losing the drama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers tragedies, comedies and romances for broad literary exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat introduction to Shakespeare ahead of school study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight paperback format, easy for young hands to hold and read\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas or World Book Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam Shakespeare (1564-1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, celebrated for plays and poems still read, performed and adapted worldwide.
