Description
From the author of the blockbuster Horrible Histories series, also a TV show and movie, who has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
Horrible Histories author Terry Deary presents a fantastic collection of Shakespeare tales based on action-packed true stories – four books in one! Perfect for history fans (and those who don't know they're history fans yet) aged 7+.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: Molly loves travelling with Shakespeare's theatre company but the jester, Armin, keeps picking on her. Meanwhile, on stage, Helena wants revenge on Hermia, Lysander wants revenge on Demetrius and the fairy queen Titania has fallen in love with a donkey!
Macbeth: Mary has buckets of stage blood to clear up under the horrible gaze of Master 'Foulbrew'. Can she find a way to escape her revolting master? In the play, Lady Macbeth wants to be queen but Duncan is on the throne. The witches say Macbeth will rule, so ghosts, treason and blood are bound to follow.
Romeo and Juliet: Sam is about to star in Shakespeare's new play but a plague is spreading through the city. Will Sam get his big break or will the plague shut down the theatre? On stage, Romeo and Juliet are in love but their families can't stand each other!
Twelfth Night: Jane and John have uncovered a plot to steal the throne from Queen Elizabeth I while she watches a play. Can they stop it in time? Meanwhile, in the play, Olivia loves the boy Caesario, who is in fact not a boy but a girl, Viola. Viola loves Orsino but Orsino loves Olivia. What a tangle...
Terrible True Tales: Shakespeare explores the fascinating world of William Shakespeare through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time.
