The stories told in the plays of William Shakespeare are among the most beloved in all literature. In this unique three-volume set, award-winning author and historian John Missall retells each play in modern prose while retaining Shakespeare's original language for the characters' conversations. The stories closely follow the action of the plays, retaining the Act/Scene structure of the originals. By using little added embellishment and minimal paraphrasing, the author allows the reader to easily understand these timeless dramatic works and appreciate Shakespeare's powerful yet beautiful wording. Volume II: The Histories includes the most familiar works, such as "Henry IV," "Henry V," Henry VI", and "Richard III", along with "King John," "Richard II," and "Henry VIII." Also included is "The Merry Wives of Windsor," so that all the plays featuring the popular Sir John Falstaff will be in one volume. Illustrated with numerous Shakespeare-inspired works of art, "An Ancient Tale New Told" is the perfect tool for those who would like to become familiar with the greatest works in the English language.
