Summary: "The Shakespeare Story-Book" by Mary Macleod is a collection of retellings of Shakespeare's plays designed for young readers written in the late 19th century. This work aims to simplify the plots of Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, making them accessible and enjoyable for a younger audience, echoing efforts similar to those of Charles and Mary Lamb in their "Tales from Shakespeare." The narratives feature major characters from Shakespeare’s works, including Prospero, Miranda, and Ferdinand, among others. The opening of the story introduces the reader to the world of "The Tempest," starting with the lonely island where Prospero, the magician and rightful Duke of Milan, lives with his daughter Miranda and two spirits, Ariel and Caliban. As a storm unleashes its fury upon the sea, Prospero reveals to Miranda the backstory of their exile from Milan and the plot to reclaim his dukedom. He conjures a tempest to bring his enemies close, with Ariel executing his magical commands to ensure the safety of those involved. In this captivating beginning, the foundations are laid for themes of magic, revenge, and love that unfold throughout the tale, setting an engaging tone for young readers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Shakespeare's storytelling.
