Reviews and Recommendations

We've comprehensively compiled reviews of The Shakespeare Stories from the world's leading experts.

Natasha I really enjoy the books in this series and the way they’re structured. The illustrations are by Tony Ross, who also illustrates David Walliams’s books and they are quite funny (depending on the play, of course). They help you understand exactly what the play is about. (Source)
