Antonio Javier Caparo.
Biography and timeline by Mariah Fredericks. Foreword by John Lithgow. This collection of seven Shakespeare plays compellingly retold in prose by beloved children's book author E. Nesbit includes Hamlet, The Tempest, and Much Ado About Nothing. The accessible retellings incorporate many of the Bard's original lines, making them fine introductions to his complex language. Romantic, richly colored Photoshop illustrations complement the stories' drama. A short Shakespeare biography is appended. Reading list, timeline, websites.
