This atmospheric retelling of the powerful and action-packed tale of the murderous king of Scotland bewitched by ambition, captures the heightened emotion of Shakespeare's classic of English literature.

Echoing the language of the original, it makes an ideal introduction to the play for all readers new to Shakespeare.

Newly illustrated with striking black-and-white illustrations, this retelling was previously published in the collections "Shakespeare's Stories: Tragedies" (UK sales of 10,000) and "Shakespeare's Stories" (UK sales of 35,000).
