That's the challenge that Leon Garfield, a wonderful children's book writer, undertook to meet in his monumental and delightful Shakespeare Stories. Here are twenty-one of the Bard's plays, presented in what is not a series of dry retellings, but rather a refashioning of the dramas as stories, in a way that remains true to the essential spirit of the original versions. Garfield has captured all the richness of character, plot, mood, and setting in Shakespeare's works without resorting to simplification. Indeed, he deliberately retains much of Shakespeare's language, skillfully weaving it into his own prose so that the reader is introduced to the flavor of the verse, as well as to the incidents of plot and the spectacle of the drama. Leon Garfield's Shakespeare Stories is an essential distillation--a celebration and a reminder of Shakespeare's genius as a poet and dramatist"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Stories, plots, etc. $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Adaptations $v Juvenile literature. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast 650 0 $a Children's stories, English. 650 0 $a Performing Arts. 650 0 $a Short Stories. 650 7 $a Children's stories, English. $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature $x Adaptations. 650 0 $a Plots (Drama, novel, etc.). 700 1 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. 700 1 $a Foreman, Michael, $d 1938- $e illustrator. 830 0 $a New York Review children's collection. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20190814043235.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160122081337.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20160120013249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17422756B69F11E592835DCEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
