Sweet Cherry Publishing William Shakespeare Easy Classics Volume 2 Children's Collection 10 Books Boxset With Free Audio Books (Tragedy of Macbeth, Tempest, Twelfth Night, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Comedy of Errors & 5 More)

Macbeth, Othello, The Tempest and seven more Shakespeare plays – retold as illustrated stories for ages 7–9. All the world's a stage – and this second collection brings ten more of Shakespeare's greatest plays to young readers. From the witches on the heath in Macbeth to the shipwrecked twins of Twelfth Night and the sorcery of The Tempest, each play is adapted into an easy-to-follow narrative story and fully illustrated, so children meet literature's best-known characters the way they'd meet any great adventure – as stories, not scripts. Every book includes a QR code linking to a free audiobook, so children can listen along as they read. The adaptations are by Gemma Barder, a Leicestershire-based children's author who began her career in children's magazines and has adapted classics across Sweet Cherry's Easy Classics range, including the first Shakespeare collection. Here's the quiet superpower of this set: these are the exam plays. Macbeth, Othello, The Tempest and Twelfth Night dominate secondary school set-text lists in England – and children who already know the stories walk into those lessons years ahead. For schools, it's a natural fit for KS2 guided reading, library collections and Shakespeare Week each March. For families who own Series 1, it completes a twenty-play library; for everyone else, it's the ideal place to start. To read, or not to read – well, that's an easy one. Ideal for: Ages 7–9 · Key Stage 2 (Years 3–5) A head start on GCSE-era set texts Completing the pair with Series 1 Shakespeare Week and World Book Day School and classroom library collections Birthday and Christmas gifts Sweet Cherry Easy Classics adapts timeless stories into accessible illustrated books for children.
