The Shakespeare Stories 16 Book Box Set Collection

The media could not be loaded. I like it

Really loved this version of the 16 Shakespeare tales involved. Bought as a present for 3 young sisters to share. I was bought Lamb's tales from Shakespeare as a small child ... but these are such fun and adjusted to children of today.

I initially bought these books to read to children but ended up being engrossed myself.A great way to learn Shakespeare without deciphering all the old language.It gives you a great background if you want to delve deeper into actual Shakespeare books.

I bought these at the request of my nine year old as he read some at school. They are very easy to read and give a good overview of what Shakespeare was writing about. The set was good value. I'm not sure what age group they are aimed at but I believe they are aimed more at 6 - 8 year olds. I gave it 4 stars as i hoped for a bit more depth for my 9 and 11 year old. If they were younger I would give it 5 stars.

Brilliant series. My 6 year old loves them. They support her school drama lesson and are specifically aimed at children, using langue they understand but provoking questions about vocabulary and classic stories. I would highly recommend these books.

The comedies are great for 6yrs+, the others for older children. Really accessible. We will read again and again, until out LO is old enough to self read at this level.

These books are a fun way of teaching my 7 year old about Shakespeare. She enjoyed reading the books and loves having them in her collection of books

Bought for 8 yr grandson who, surprisingly, loves them! His favourites are Twelfth Night, and Anthony and Cleopatra. A great idea, and they will be a useful reference in the years to come.
