Publisher's Synopsis

This delightful 16-book box set brings the Bard's timeless tales to life for a younger generation, told with wit and panache.

Young readers can follow Puck on his mischievous midsummer adventures, hear the prophecy of the witches in Macbeth and be swept away by the romance of Romeo and Juliet in this lively retelling, brought to life by delightful artwork.
