The Best of Shakespeare: Retellings of 10 Classic PlaysAt the heart of any great work of literature is a story. William Shakespeare's plays are no exception. They tell the stories of kings and queens, of ghosts and witches, of romance and passion. But to get to the stories at the heart of the Bard's plays, the reader must first work through Shakespeare's language, a task often too demanding for younger readers (and for many adults).

At the heart of any great work of literature is a story. William Shakespeare's plays are no exception. They tell the stories of kings and queens, of ghosts and witches, of romance and passion. But to get to the stories at the heart of the Bard's plays, the reader must first work through Shakespeare's language, a task often too demanding for younger readers (and for many adults). This new paperback edition brings ten of Shakespeare's greatest plays to life. E. Nesbit, the classic British children's author, shakes off the burdensome complexity of Shakespeare's language and tells the stories at the core of the plays with a generous sprinkle of wit and humor. Her graceful, vivid retellings, written in highly accessible and lucid prose, are the perfect introduction to Shakespeare's work.
All of these major works are included in this anthology: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, As You Like It, The Winter's Tale, and Twelfth Night. The text is illustrated with dramatic black-and-white photographs from contemporary productions of the plays by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Stratford Festival (Ontario, Canada), and the Folger Library's Shakespeare Theater. Also included is an afterword by Peter Hunt, a leading scholar of children's literature.
These retellings of the classic tales of one of the world's greatest playwrights remind us that it is never too early for Shakespeare.

The best but SIZE UP!!!
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver Leather
These are my new favorite heels I own. Soooo cute, survived being rained on at a beach wedding (and were surprisingly decent to walk on in the sand if you're confident in heels), and aren't too uncomfy even though I have super high arches. I'd advise people to size up though, esp if you have wide feet or high arches. I usually wear a 6-6.5 and had to switch out 6.5s for 7s (and if I didn't prefer a snug fit I probably could've even gone with 7.5s). Overall these shoes are so beautiful, versatile, and seem like they'll last long. A tiny bit slippy (and would recommend anti-chafe where the straps will land if you're blister-prone) but not a biggie

Never go out of style
Size: 8, Color: Silver Leather, Size: 8, Color: Silver Leather
Perfect silver tone shoe. It’s so comfortable because the heel isn’t so high. It’s versatile, you can style it up or chill. Highly recommend such a classic color to have

Larger and roomier, adore the fiery orange color
Schutz quality is top notch. I found this style to be larger & roomier than I'm use to. Easily dealt with for me with shoe pad inserts and making smaller holes in the band. I adore the color, I've wanted this exact shade of fiery orange forever. It's a gorgeous brilliant orange, with red shadows and golden highlights. I'm so excited to have finally found this color, and Schutz are always comfortable, sturdy, beautiful, and made well.
