Thank you for this review.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted someone with a Charlotte Mason Education Viewpoint to review these shortened versions of the classics.
We recently read the Usborne Illustrated stories form Shakespeare and really enjoyed it. So I am happy to hear that this one is also a good one, especially for younger kids.
Thanks again.
