Henry V - 978-1-78493-004-2

Tales from Shakespeare: Hamlet Reviews

These versons are retold in modern English but - and I really like this - they include key quotations from the original, in highlighted boxes. The retellings, despite being in modern English, manage to capture the feel of Shahespeare's language and they read aloud excellently; the attractive drawings give readers a feel for the plays and their characters'
