Biography and Timeline by Mariah Fredericks
Seven of Shakespeare's works are shared in this beautifully illustrated anthology (Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Macbeth, The Tempest, and Much Ado About Nothing). Before each story is a cast of characters which is helpful as sometimes remembering who is who is confusing!
Warning: Although these stories have been revised for children, they still include violence, suicide and evil characters.
I had started reading this to myself, but then my eleven year old snatched it away so he could read it! He likes Shakespeare! His only negative comment was that he wished the versions in this collection were lengthier. He wants more of the details.
*Highly recommend.\
