William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is considered the greatest writer in the English language. While known primarily for his plays, many of his stories—like Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Tempest—have a narrative quality that makes them perfect for children's adaptations. At Cuentautor, we offer adaptations of his most accessible stories for children, with professional audio narration, original illustrations, and available in 17 languages.
