Présentation de l'éditeur :

Geraldine McCaughrean has won many awards for her brilliant versions of classic texts. Here she retells the ten Shakespeare plays children are most likely to come across: Romeo and Juliet, Henry the Fifth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and The Tempest.
Written in stirring, colourful prose, this book makes a terrific introduction to Shakespeare and makes complex plots easy to follow. The text is punctuated with well-known quotations that give a taste of the real thing, and each play opens with a cast list explaining just who the characters are.

Quatrième de couverture :

Murderers, mad kings, mistaken identities, shipwrecks, soldiers, swordfights, ghosts, witches and feuds, they're all here in stories to haunt, delight and sometimes chill you to the bone.

These stirring retellings of ten of the best-known plays are a brilliant way to discover Shakespeare, with ingenious use of quotations from the play to make them even more vivid.

Romeo and Juliet, Henry the Fifth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and The Tempest.
