Shakespeare's is considered to be one of the greatest contributions to English literature. I, once tried to read the unabridged, not retold version of Shakespeare but got fed up due to the difficulty of that old and boring language in addition to the prelonged texts. When I procured this retold version I was relieved and immediately started reading it in a haste so that I could taste Shakespeare's as quickly as possible. Slowly I realized that reading this book in a haste meant reading just for the sake of claiming that you have read . So I reduced my pace and gently went through the passages. The variety of stories impressed me but the bad part is that even after trying a lot I couldn't find any humour in the great 14 comedies out of the 20 tales inspite of the excellent usage of wit in the stories. I thought the tragedies would make me cry but surprisingly enough they didn't . I merrily accepted the facts without letting the tales touch my heart. One thing to be accepted that each and every story taught the reader morals and values. The stangeness of fate and destiny were very well expressed in the stories.
I would recommend this particular famous retold version to growing children so that they experiece a different diversity of tales. The real Shakespeare as I said earlier is too complicated. These 20 tales will delighten and enlighten it's readers.
