A Kingfisher Treasury of Shakespeare's Verse

An introduction to Shakespeare, this lyrically illustrated anthology has been edited to make it accessible to both older children and teenagers. It includes more then 200 short examples of verse, arranged in thematic sections such as: heroics and love; good and evil; fun and frolic; and magic and mystery. The aim of the book is to capture the rich, powerful language and imagery of Shakespeare without overwhelming the reader who is new to Elizabethan poetry.
