Two lovely new editions for the Young Reading series two.
One of Shakespeare's greatest plays retold for children growing in reading confidence and ability. Macbeth is the bravest general in Scotland, and a loyal servant to King Duncan. But then he hears that one day, he could be king himself. Mad with ambition, Macbeth sets out on a bloody path to power. Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton. With internet links to find out more about Shakespeare and the play.
Macbeth is just one of an outstanding series of condensed versions of Shakespeares plays from Usborne. With their exciting and atmospheric illustrations, accessible and thought-provoking storytelling and internet links to associated websites, there could be no better way to awaken an early and hopefully lifelong enthusiasm for the bard. * Lancashire Evening Post *
