1998 Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
2006ⓘ
  • 12 stories; namely, the stories of 12 Shakespeare plays retold for children by Nesbit
  • Appropriate "particularly for very young children" --Kirkus Reviews 1938-08-01 (posted online 2012 with later cover image and ISBN) Probably Kirkus reviews a re-issue of the 1900 collection, but it does list only 11 of the 12 retellings --those in the 12-story 2006 Dover collection except "The Merchant of Venice".
  • "This Dover edition, first published in 2006, is a newly reset, unabridged republication of the text from The Children's Shakespeare, originally published by Henry Altemus Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1900. The original illustrations have been omitted here." --Bibliographical Note, 2006 (viewed as Amazon "Look inside")
