The Tempest

By: William Shakespeare, Helen Street - adaptation

Narrated by: Helen Street

Here, Shakespeare's magical play is made accessible to younger readers, while staying true to the Bard's verse and vocabulary.

A storm, a shipwreck, an enchanted island....

A violent storm shipwrecks the King of Naples and his noblemen on what appears to be an uninhabited island. They don't know that they have been brought here by powerful magic. Prospero, the mysterious ruler of the island, has a plan, but will he use his magic for revenge or for reconciliation? His daughter, Miranda, has never seen another man except her father. What will she think of the stranger who stumbles into her life? Will Propsero's monstrous servant, Caliban, succeed in overthrowing his master? Enchantment and treachery abound on the island. Which will prove stronger?
