Tales from Shakespeare

This delightful book for young readers tells Shakespeares action-filled comic and tragic stories about ghosts, witches, fairies, heroes, heroines and villains. Ten of Shakespeares best-known plays are included in this collection of moral tales in which good triumphs over evil. As Shakespeare wrote the dialog to be spoken on the stage, easy to read lines are included, some of them already quotable quotes familiar to the reader. Author Alice Griffin earned her Ph.D. at Columbia University, taught at Hunter and Lehman Colleges, and has written four books on Shakespeare. Her edition of Hamlet appears in the widely-used college anthology Literature.
