Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare for Children: Being a Choice Collection from the World's Greatest Classic Writer Wm. Shakespeare

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: I think that this is a great book to help children and anyone else to understand Shakespeare. It is written in clear easy to understand text and is a great way to get the basic story line of Shakespeare's most poupular plays. I do have one complaint and that is the publisher's spelled E. Nesbit's name wrong they spelled it Nesbitt when it is really Nesbit. It is a good thing E. Nesbit isn't around anymore because I don't think she would appriciate it, I know I wouldn't.

Summary: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
Review: My copy has been a family treasure, thus read aloud over and over. This is an excelent book to read aloud with families and children. The many small illustrations aid the interest of the young reader and listener. E. Nesbit creates an excellent transition between today's spoken English and the language you will hear in Shakespeare's plays.

Summary: See for Yourself...
Review: This book is good for historical value and amusement, but if seeing a Timon of Athens who looks like he waltzed out of a fairy story is bothersome to you, don't buy it. E. Nesbit is firmly of the "Shakespeare is the greatest moralist since Jesus Christ" school, and the plots have been tailored to fit this characterization. The tales have so little to do with actual Shakespeare that your own memorial reconstructions would be more accurate and entertaining. But you can check it out for yourself at .
