Classic Tales Retold for Children: 16-Book Box Set
This charming 16-book box set brings the Bard's timeless tales to life for a younger generation, told with wit and panache. The cleverly reworked prose of Samantha Newman retains many of William Shakespeare's own inimitable turns of phrase, while simplifying and clarifying the language and plots to make the stories accessible to children. Young readers can follow Puck on his mischievous midsummer adventures, hear the prophecy of the witches in Macbeth, and be swept away by the romance of Romeo and Juliet in this lively retelling, brought to life by delightful artwork.
The box set contains the following stories: • A Midsummer Night's Dream • Romeo and Juliet • King Lear • Macbeth • Hamlet • The Winter's Tale • The Tempest • Othello • Much Ado About Nothing • The Comedy of Errors • Love's Labour's Lost • The Merchant of Venice • As You Like It • Twelfth Night • All's Well That Ends Well • Antony and Cleopatra
This collection is perfect for children aged 6 and above, allowing them to discover the best-loved works of classic literature through the Arcturus Retold Classics series. These illustrated, easy-to-read tales are presented in delightful box sets, making them a perfect addition to any child's library.
