Beloved author E. Nesbit retells the might and majesty of twenty of Shakespeare's stories in clear, simple language for girls and boys to enjoy. Shakespeare's plays have captivated readers the world over for centuries, exploring profound themes of humanity: life and death, love and loss, the individual versus the greater good.
First published in 1907, this book comes with numerous, original black and white line drawings by Max Bihn, and full page paintings by Frances Brundage.
The gorgeous cover is by Arthur Rackham, painted in 1908. Are you sure we're all awake? with Helena, Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
