A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories by Angela McAllister
4.0
'A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories' by Angela McAllister with illustrations by Alice Lindstrom is a book full of stories adapted from the plays of William Shakespeare.
The 12 adapted plays are comedy and tragedy. They span the best known of Shakespeare's plays. Each story opens with a quote from the play and a cast of the characters the reader will come across. The stories run about 7 pages with illustrations and are really nice adaptations.
I enjoyed these abridged versions of the plays and the really nice illustrations that accompany them. These stories don't shy from the darker elements of the plays, so keep that in mind for young readers. Then again, I would have loved those darker elements, and still do.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
