Packer, Tina Tales From Shakespeare, 192 p. . Scholastic Press, 2004 $24.99. Content G. A compilation of 10 of Shakespeare’s plays written in short story form. The book contains condensed versions of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, As You Like It, Macbeth, The Tempest, Othello, and Twelfth Night. The stories contain a few quotes from the original plays, and stick to the plot. It surprisingly captures the essence of the plays and little is lost except the rich words and in-depth sonnets/soliloquies Shakespeare lovers cherish. MS, HS - OPTIONAL. Shauna, reading teacher.
