Praise for Beverley Birch's Shakespeare Stories (1988): 'True to the power and poetry of the original plays, these dramatic retellings will help attract the reluctant and the intimidated to the pleasures of Shakespeare.' - BOOKLIST I've always been opposed to condensation and simplification of great works of literature.

But here Birch has won me over completely.' - KLIATT PAPERBACK GUIDE All the wonder is retained and the difficulty lessened.' - MEADOWCREEK LEARNING RESOURCES CENTRE Superbly retold.' - THE YOUNG READER Highly recommended.' - THE BOOK REPORT Captures the power and humour of the original plays.' - EDUCATIONAL MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY Highly satisfactory means of introducing children to Shakespeare ... tackles the central issues with great clarity and discretion.' - LETTER TO SUNDAY TIMES A fantastic introduction to the master playwright - a lyrical re-telling that captures all the magic ... and beautifully brigns them alive ... with exquisite illustrations, this is the perfect gift book. -- Parent's News 20031101 Lovely to read aloud ...
