About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Children's Shakespeare by Edith Nesbit. This children's book retells twelve of Shakespeare's most popular plays as stories for children. Each of the plays are rewritten as short stories or fairy tales suitable to keep the attention of child readers or listeners. The introduction of the book cites a child's ability and desire to become familiar with the works of Shakespeare as a stepping-stone toward a greater appreciation of the actual plays later in life.
