Each chapter of the book summarizes one of Shakespeare's plays, with a focus on the plot and major characters. The Lambs' writing style is straightforward and clear, and they provide enough detail to give readers a basic understanding of the story while still retaining the essential elements of Shakespeare's language.In addition to the retellings, the Lambs also provide a brief biography of Shakespeare and an introduction to the historical and cultural context of his plays. The collection is accompanied by illustrations by a variety of artists, adding to the appeal of the book.
