I specifically picked this version because it is a wonderful way to capture those students who have no interest in classic tales. It translates every line of the text into an easy to read modern day equivilent of the words. I give it a 5/5 for how great of a book it is to teach in a middle grade classroom. ( ) The author does a good job of explaining in our modern language so you can understand its concept and meaning and here are some reasons. During that time period people used to talk very "proper" and times have changed! and who she does that is one page his the catalog and the other has the modern version . The story itself is very interesting with well rounded characters. The story is about a play ( from one perspective ) that is the main part of a story. but the filler part is about a lord playing a prank on a peasant. during the play its about two men wanting wealth but also wanting love so they make up a plain to get what they want. so if you want a good book to just sit down and have a laugh read this book. This book is a little hard to understand, but it is a cool book. It is cool to see a book written back in old English and now. So cool. Brawny, money-greedy Petruchio attempts to tame his bold, stubborn bride, Kate. This book was the first Shakespearean work I ever read. no reviews | add a review
