Demystify the world of Shakespeare with this refreshingly honest and accessible guide. From decoding Shakespeare's unique language and invented words to exploring the timeless themes of love, power and deception across his comedies, tragedies, histories and sonnets, this comprehensive handbook transforms potentially intimidating content into relatable, engaging material.

Each chapter builds essential skills for understanding and enjoying Shakespeare's works - whether you're analysing complex characters, tracking themes or exploring modern adaptations. With practical activities, analysis worksheets and a healthy dose of humour, this guide equips you with the tools to confidently tackle Shakespeare without getting lost in the 'thous' and 'thees'. Perfect for reluctant readers, Shakespeare Simplified reveals why the Bard's stories of drama, betrayal and 'situationships' still powerfully resonate in today's world.
