Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare by Edith Nesbit is a collection of retold tales from the works of William Shakespeare. The book features 20 of the playwright's most famous plays, including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Nesbit's retellings are written in a simple and engaging language, making them accessible to young readers and those who are new to Shakespeare's work. The book also includes illustrations by William Heath Robinson, which add to the charm and appeal of the stories. Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare is a great introduction to the world of Shakespeare and a perfect way to introduce children to his timeless stories.Now, in Athens, where they lived, there was a wicked law, by which any girl who refused to marry according to her father's wishes, might be put to death. Hermia's father was so angry with her for refusing to do as he wished, that he actually brought her before the Duke of Athens to ask that she might be killed, if she still refused to obey him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
