"All the world's a stage/ And all the men and women merely players." Fairies, witches, villains and heroes populate this intriguing world created by one of the most prolific playwrights of all times-William Shakespeare. Shakespearean language is rich, convoluted and picturesque, almost exaggerated at times. However, it is filled with home truths and quotes that resonate in normal conversation to this very day. This book is a fervent attempt to simplify the language of the Bard so that his fascinating stories, replete with themes like love, friendship, envy, magic, poignancy and darkness, are demystified to a level that even children are tempted to peek into them to savour tales that are age-old with a twist intriguing enough to keep them modern and relatable.
