The fairy
tale quality and family life themes of these stories make a truly meaningful
introduction for children to Shakespeare’s plays. Meg Harris Williams’ text and pictures
together illuminate vividly the poetry of each play. `This book is
a welcome introduction. It tells the
stories with clarity and simplicity…young readers will be encouraged to
tackle the plays with an anticipation which I know will be richly rewarded’ Nigel
Hawthorne `The text is
upbeat and contemporary in tone and is easily accessible to children …a
lovely book’ Canadian Stage and Arts `A sensible
and readable introduction for children to the world’s most beautiful and
exciting plays. The illustrations will
marvellously excite the children’s imagination’ John Mortimer See also: `Bringing
Shakespeare to the Child’ (1995), in Papers |
