Description:

Magic, mischief, and shipwrecked sailors swirl through this beautifully abridged and illustrated retelling of Shakespeare's most enchanting play, brought to young readers by Wonder House Books' Shakespeare's Greatest Stories series. On a remote, mysterious island lives Prospero — the rightful Duke of Milan, betrayed and exiled by his scheming brother years ago. With the help of his powerful magic, his loyal airy spirit Ariel, and the strange creature Caliban, Prospero conjures a wild storm that wrecks his enemies' ship on his shores. As his daughter Miranda meets the noble young Prince Ferdinand and falls in love at first sight, Prospero must decide whether to take his long-awaited revenge — or choose the harder, kinder path of forgiveness. With simplified language and lively illustrations, this magical introduction to the Bard celebrates wonder, mercy, family, and the power of second chances.
