Wonderful!

All I can say for this book and any other work of Shakespeare is "Wonderful!" I especially loved this version because it's simplified for children. Ages 9-12 are the ones that study Shakespeare, but don't enjoy it because it is too confusing in language and plot. This decreases the popularity of the world's greatest ever writer! I have read many of these children's Shakespeare plays, but this is the only one that satisfied me thoroughly! I say to anyone with children, anyone who is a child or anyone who does not understand Shakespeare for any reason to buy this book. This book will someday, I hope, become a resource used in every home and school because of it's brilliant simplification of THE BEST-LOVED PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE!
