'a lyrical retelling of some of his greatest plays that captures all the magic of the original texts but beautifully brings them alive for readers who are reluctant or intimidated - a perfect gift book-- Parents News 20041103 Praise for Beverley Birch's Shakespeare Stories (1988): 'True to the power and poetry of the original plays, these dramatic retellings will help attract the reluctant and the intimidated to the pleasures of Shakespeare.' -- BOOKLIST 20041103 'All the wonder is retained and the difficulty lessened.' -- MEADOWCREEK LEARNING RESOURCES CENTRE 20041103 'Highly recommended.' -- THE BOOK REPORT 20041103 'Superbly retold.' -- THE YOUNG READER 20041103 'Captures the power and humour of the original plays.' -- EDUCATIONAL MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY 20041103 'I've always been opposed to condensation and simplification of great works of literature. As a remedial reading teacher, I refused to have my students use the versions of great books that were "written down" ... But here Birch has won me over completely.' -- KLIATT PAPERBACK GUIDE 20041103 'Highly satisfactory means of introducing children to Shakespeare ... tackles the central issues with great clarity and discretion.' -- LETTER TO SUNDAY TIMES 20041103

She graduated from Cambridge with a degree in Economics and Sociology. After travelling in Africa, America, Europe and the Middle East, Beverley joined Penguin as an editor. Her first job was on Economics textbooks, but within a few weeks someone offered to let her work on children's books. She jumped at the chance, and has never looked back. Now she combines writing and working as an editor here at Hodder. She has two daughters and is married to photographer Nick Birch. Stephen Lambert grew up in Reigate Surrey and has lived in London, North Yorkshire and now Cornwall. He loves walking, gardening and painting!
