Marcia Williams has to be one of the best, if not the best, re-tellers of classics around and I always look forward to a new book from her. [...] Marcia brings Shakespeare's stories vividly to life. The retellings are superbly set off by plenty of Marcia Williams' detailed and engaging pictures. A beautiful book which is perfect to encourage children to appreciate Shakespeare and his plays. * Parents in Touch *
