Ideal to encourage the younger, or more apprehensive, reader of Shakespeare November 13, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
`Shakespeare is for everyone - you don`t have to be a genius!'
`If you have been bored to tears by Shakespeare at school, then these books may actually make you want to read the plays.'
`If you are lucky, you may have had a chance to see Shakespeare's plays performed on stage. Even if you have, you may find reading the plays difficult.
These beautifully illustrated books will help you to understand and enjoy Shakespeare.
The author tells you about the background to the play, tells the story, describes the characters and helps explain the difficult language.'
`There is no substitute for seeing the plays of Shakespeare performed. Only then can you really understand why Shakespeare is our greatest dramatist and poet.
This book simply gives you the background to the play and tells you about the story and characters........'
