King Lear
STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories - a new Puffin Classics collection
‘They told me I was everything: 'tis a lie’
Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of power and treachery.
The price for power is paid in blood.
The ageing King Lear must divide his kingdom between his daughters; but who to choose? Goneril and Regan, who love him loudly and flatter his ego, or the self-contained Cordelia, who waits for fate to bring what it will.
It is a decision that will unleash a storm upon the kingdom. A decision twisted by love, by smiles, by quiet treachery. A decision that could undo them all.
Offering the complete and unabridged text, set in a dyslexic-friendly font and introduced by renowned YA authors, this beautifully designed collection is the perfect way to introduce YA readers to Shakespeare's most iconic stories.
