'EASY
READING SHAKESPEARE' series
With the publication of the third and final volume of
Easy
Reading Shakespeare in October 2006 Richard Cuddington
completed his 'dazzling' narration of Shakespeare’s plays in
bite-size verse. He retells the plots of all 39 of
the famous plays in simple, amusing rhyming verse bringing
the Bard’s marvellous stories and characters to the fore.
Easy Reading Shakespeare is perfect for anyone new to
Shakespeare, including children encountering the plays for
the first time as part of the school curriculum. Teachers
across the U.K. have welcomed Easy Reading Shakespeare as
a fun means of engaging the initial interest and
enthusiasm of children.
Richard Cuddington stands alone in having written
comprehensive adaptations of all 39 of Shakespeare’s plays
in an easy format that requires no prior knowledge or
study.
All three Easy Reading Shakespeare books have been
beautifully illustrated by Michael Avery. His wonderful
drawings bring Shakespeare’s characters to life in a
magical and highly individualistic style.

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
IN BITE-SIZE VERSE
A charming adaptation in bite-size verse of this much loved and timeless
classic. Suitable for children from 5 years and above.
‘The Wind in the Willows … The story of course remains the same. And so does
my reaction every time I re-read it.
“This is brilliant. Please can I have some more?”
Certainly. Here it is. And this time … it rhymes!’
Bill Oddie
‘Fans of Kenneth Grahame’s classic children’s tale will love this adaptation
of life along the river bank in verse. This simplified rhyming rendition aimed
at younger children is a delight.’
