This book, written as an enticement for 19th century children to get them to read Shakespeare, presents his work in prose style instead of the typical dialogue or script style...regardless of the target audience, it puts his work in a readable and easily understood style that allows the average person to read and understand his various works. Children of that era appear to have had a much broader vocabulary and greater literacy than the children of today, but aside from that, the book is not written in a childish style and does not presume the reader to be a witless 7 year old. This is a good starting point for anyone beginning a study of Shakespeare's plays.
Purchased at a gift for children 8-10 years and older. Finally a wonderfilled inspiring and intriguing presentaion of Shakespeare's immortal characters for children. Children will thank you and remember this introduction whether read aloud to them, or read by them. With artful meaning and values presented in context and with reverance for one of the world's best loved and respected authors. Easing into classical literature study for children who will gain insightful and imaginative circumspect character definitions of gand stature.
Very good copy of the Shakespeare classics. Many storied that excite the imagination and speak to a natural sense of writing. Short pages and pictures makes it more enjoyable for age-appropriate children.
