Review
Lovely to read aloud with good illustrations (Angels & Urchins)
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
A lyrical re-telling of some of his greatest plays that captures all the magic of the original texts (Parents News)
I've always been opposed to condensation and simplification of great works of literature. As a remedial reading teacher, I refused to have my students use the versions of great books that were "written down" ... 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)
