The Children's Shakespeare: As You Like It, Hamlet, King Lear, a Midsummer Night's Dream, Pericles, Romeo & Juliet, and the Winter's Tale

Seven of Shakespeare's most celebrated plays have been specifically adapted to introduce young listeners (and reintroduce adults) to his works. Based on the homespun storytelling of a literary turn-of-the-century mom, these classic retellings capture the drama and flavor of each original play, while simplifying plot and detail. Winner of a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for Children, included in this cassette version are: King Lear read by Jim Belushi, As You Like It read by Linda Hamilton, A Midsummer Night's Dream read by Robert Davi, Pericles read by Tate Donovan, Hamlet read by Bill Pullman, Romeo and Juliet read by Daphne Zuniga, and The Winter's Tale read by Patrick Macnee.
