Poetry for Young People: William Shakespeare

Poetry for Young People: William Shakespeare edited by David Scott Kastan and Marina Kastan, illustrated by Glenn Harrington

William Shakespeare's verses - illustrated in remarkable color paintings created especially for this edition - engage hearts and minds, and provoke laughter as well as deep feelings. 
Read the immortal words:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts."

Shakespeare's classic lines move us as much today as when he first wrote them, from "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" to "Double, double, toil and trouble." 

We have the other books in this series available in our Poetry Books section.
