Humphrey Carpenter
Though written nearly four hundred years ago, the stories in Shakespeare's plays are relevant to any age. Stories of love, hate, jealousy, murder, greed, and magic. Comedies and tragedies to appeal to every taste.
Humphrey Carpenter has retold the stories from twelve of Shakespeare's plays in an original and exciting way. Using contemporary language, each story is told from a different character's point of view and in a different style.
Includes retellings of:
Hamlet Twelfth Night Julius Caesar A Midsummer Night's Dream Macbeth Much Ado About Nothing King Lear The Merchant of Venice Othello As You Like It The Winter's Tale The Tempest
