I bought this for my 14 yr old and she has just fallen in love with shakespeare. She now has 4 or 5 of his titles in this form and is just enjoying them. I mean she reads them all the time for fun. And she can converse about the themes and works enough to prove to me she is learning just as much as if she read the regular version. It has lead to a love of literature from this time and has encouraged her to seek out other authers and works not in this form. Even a couple of my younger kids have picked them up. Well worth it!!!!
