Short, brisk, highly readable retellings which make good sense
as stories in their own right. As such, they will readily persuade
the junior school age-group that Shakespeare himself has lively
stories to tell. These little books can be warmly recommended as a
first introduction to Shakespeare. -- Books for Keeps 20040201
