About the Book

Enter the enchanting world of Shakespeare with "Measure for Measure: Shakespeare for Kids," specially adapted for young readers by Jeanette Vigon. This timeless tale of justice, morality, and forgiveness is brought to life in a way that is accessible and engaging for children.

Set in the vibrant city of Vienna, the story follows Duke Vincentio, who leaves his city under the strict rule of the stern Angelo. As Angelo enforces harsh laws, young Isabella pleads for the life of her brother, Claudio. With unexpected twists and turns, children will learn about fairness, mercy, and the power of virtue.

Jeanette Vigon's adaptation preserves the magic of Shakespeare's original play while making it fun and understandable for kids. With lively dialogue and relatable characters, this book is perfect for introducing young minds to the world of classic literature.

Join Isabella, Claudio, and Duke Vincentio on their journey through the streets of Vienna, and discover the timeless lessons of Shakespeare in this delightful retelling. "Measure for Measure - Shakespeare for Kids" will captivate young readers and inspire a lifelong love of literature.

Disclaimer: This adaptation of "Measure for Measure" is carefully crafted to make the themes and language suitable for young readers. The original play by Shakespeare contains mature content, including themes of sexual harassment, prostitution, and coercion, which are not appropriate for children. In this adaptation, such explicit references have been omitted or significantly toned down to focus on broader themes of justice, mercy, and virtue.

Parents and guardians should be aware that while this retelling aims to provide a child-friendly version of the story, some underlying mature themes from the original work are inherent to the plot. For example, the character of Angelo, who in the original play tries to exploit Isabella, is depicted with a focus on his role in enforcing strict laws rather than his moral failings. Discussions around these topics have been adapted to be age-appropriate, but parents may still find it helpful to read along with their children and be prepared to address any questions that arise.

This book is intended as a gentle introduction to Shakespeare's work, and as such, parents are encouraged to engage with their children about the story's themes and characters. This approach helps to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of literature while ensuring that the content remains suitable for young readers.
