Note: This edition enhances the standard Kids book text with the addition of 11, small B&W illustrations, which can be coloured in, at no additional cost. It is NOT simply a colouring book. The wife of a Scottish lord persuades him to murder the King for his crown with dire consequences. Shakespeare’s classic play has delighted readers and film fans for many years. This version of the story has been specially adapted for kids from nine to twelve years old. The language and vocabulary are simple, and emphasis is on action using past, present and future simple tenses. Punctuation meets UK or USA ESL/CEFR/IELTS Level B2 in most cases, although there are some 17th Century features of the text which do not comply and have been left intact to preserve the charm of Shakespeare's text. The vocabulary in this book is harder than for The Mysterious Affair at Styles and The Secret Adversary. You should try those books first if you are not familiar with words like the following: disdaining, undaunted, distillation, refrain, slaughtered. Lazlo Ferran is a fully qualified English teacher and teaches in London. He has also published more than twenty novels, making him the ideal choice to adapt Shakespeare’s stories for children. Vocabulary Stretcher and UK or USA ESL/CEFR Level B2 editions are also available.

Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN: 1487515855

The single largest category of Beowulf representation and adaptation, outside of direct translation of the poem, is children’s literature. Over the past century and a half, more than 150 new versions of Beowulf directed to child and teen audiences have appeared, in English and in many other languages. In this collection of original essays, Bruce Gilchrist and Britt Mize examine the history and processes of remaking Beowulf for young readers. Inventive in their manipulations of story, tone, and genre, these adaptations require their authors to make countless decisions about what to include, exclude, emphasize, de-emphasize, and adjust. This volume considers the many forms of children’s literature, focusing primarily on picture books, illustrated storybooks, and youth novels, but taking account also of curricular aids, illustrated full translations of the poem, and songs. Contributors address issues of gender, historical context, war and violence, techniques of narration, education, and nationalism, investigating both the historical and theoretical dimensions of bringing Beowulf to child audiences.
