This is an essential to children and grown ups alike as a way to comprehend the stories of Shakespeare, which as prose are as brilliant as the plays. I received this book (when it was actually a paper book!) when I was a child, and it aided me in understanding of all the great plays since the Lambs have converted the plays into short stories. Of course the well crafted dialogue and incredible insights and observations made famous in the plays can only be appreciated in the plays, but at least this book lays the ground work. But this is a highly valuable source.
This book covers the following plays:
The tempest
A midsummer night's dream
The winter's tale
Much ado about nothing
As you like it
The two gentlemen of verona
The merchant of venice
Cymbeline
king lear
Macbeth
All's well that ends well
The taming of the shrew
The comedy of errors
Measure for measure
Twelfth night; or, what you will
Timon of athens
Romeo and juliet
Hamlet, prince of denmark
Othello
Pericles, prince of tyre
