Obtain Fairy Tales From Shakespeare (Classic Reprint) Fabricated By Fay Adams Shown In Document

author has chosen several of Shakespeare's plays that contain fairies, sprites, witches,

etc, amp retold them in a fairy tale style to make them easier for children to understand amp appreciate.
As a Shakespeare fan, I never pass up a chance to read his works in whatever form they appear, but I especially enjoy reworkings that help relate amp explain the plots amp characters.
I have a harder time reading Shakespeare than hearing/seeing him performed as, while his writing is clever amp amazing, you can sometimes get bogged down in the wordy, floweriness of the language of the time amp miss vital parts of the tale.
Included in this book are A Midsummer Night's Dream my favorite, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, MacBeth, The Taming of the Shrew, Cymbeline amp King Lear amongst others.
It's a nice selection amp the author does a nice job of turning them into fairy tales.
I enjoyed it. Excerpt from Fairy Tales From Shakespeare

A long, long time ago, when Fairies, Sprites, and Witches dwelt in the forests, there lived a tiny Fairy King whose name was Oberon, and though a wee mite, he felt very large, and would strut around in a most amusing manner.


His Queen Titania was a beautiful fairy, and for so small a body she carried herself with great grace and dignity.


Now, we find that fairies sometimes quarrel and do naughty things, just as do little girls and boys and even grownups at times.


Fairy King Oberon and Queen Titania Often quarreled because Titania refused to give a little boy whom she had reared to King Oberon for a page.
