When searching for a child friendly book of stories based on William Shakesperes works I came across this little gem. The book is authored by Edith Nesbit, best known for her books The Railway Children, Five Children and It and The Enchanted Castle. Edith has done a beautiful job of translating Shakesperes works into stories which will engage children in the classic works such as A Midsummer Nights Dream, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear.

There were three of them Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathleen. Of course, Jerry's name was Gerald, and not Jeremiah, whatever you may think, and Jimmy's name was James, and Kathleen was never called by her name at all, but Cathy, or Catty, or Puss Cat, when her bro

There were once four children who spent their summer holidays in a white house, happily situated between a sandpit and a chalkpit. One day they had the good fortune to find in the sandpit a strange creature. Its eyes were on long horns like snail's eyes,

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, an

MY cousin Sarah and me had only one aunt between us, and that was my Aunt Maria, who lived in the little cottage up by the church. Now my aunt had a tidy little bit of money laid by, which she couldn't in reason expect to carry with her when her time
