Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises…
A powerful storm, a dramatic shipwreck, an enchanted island, a sorcerer’s daughter and a handsome prince… Listen on, through magic and mystery, to discover the spell-binding story at the heart of The Tempest, one of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays.
As well as the story, this audiobook contains information about the background to The Tempest, its major themes, language, and Shakespeare’s life during the time he was writing the play. Magic, and its meaning in 16th century England, are also examined, to give some context in which the play was written.
The Short, Sharp Shakespeare series consists of six books that retell Shakespeare’s most famous plays in modern English. Fun sound effects and atmospheric music accompany each narration, making them a great introduction to “the Bard” for children.
