This is a wonderful introductory Shakespeare book. The full story is laid out in comic style presentaion. Famous quotes are kept as Shakespeare wrote them, but other text is a more modern, lower reading level text. Includes vocabulary list and discussion on the last page.

The Folger Libray edition is very useful for students who are unfamiliar with Elizabethan language, customs, and other oddities

It's Shakespeare. Need I say more?
Lovers of Shakespeare will already know this work. I know of no one who can speak with adequacy and profundity simultaneously regarding The Bard unless it were Shakespeare himself.
if you like Shakespeare you'll love this book!!
1969 Paperback Edited by Louis b. Wright and Virginia A. LaMar. A "readable text", looks to be a good study guide
I have read this three times, and it is a wonderful classic!
I DO have two smokers in my home, so please take that into consideration if you have smoke sensitivities.
