Publisher's Synopsis
This collection aims to make the best of Shakespearean theatre accessible to a younger audience.
King Lear has set his daughters a test to prove how much they love him. Goneril and Regan flatter the old king, but his youngest daughter, Cordelia, loves him too much to play the game. In a moment of anger, Lear banishes Cordelia. Can any good come out of this rash decision?
Beautifully illustrated in colour and black and white by Stephen Player.
Consultants: Kathy Elgin from the Royal Shakespeare Company and Peter Reynolds from Roehampton Institute of Children's Literature, University of Surrey.
