Synopsis

This easy-to-understand guide to Shakespeare for young and old consists of two parts. Part I is a beginner’s introduction to the life and work of Shakespeare. Part II retells, in simple modern prose, the stories of Shakespeare’s two most famous plays, “Romeo and Juliet” and “Hamlet.” Also includes an Appendix, which lists all the plays both chronologically and by genre (comedy, history or tragedy). The material that makes up Part I was written especially for, and originally published in, the esteemed multi-volume reference work “World Book: Organized Knowledge in Story and Picture” (1920). The retellings in Part II were written especially for, and originally published in, “The Children’s Shakespeare” (1900).
