As merry as the day is long.

Mistaken identities, jealous relatives, lovers’ quarrels and a happy ending… Discover the entertaining story at the heart of Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies.

As well as the story, this audiobook contains information about the background to Much Ado About Nothing, its major themes, language, and Shakespeare’s life during the time he was writing the play. Gossip, and its role in society in 16th century England, is also examined, to give some context in which the play was written.

The Short, Sharp Shakespeare series consists of six books that retell Shakespeare’s most famous plays in modern English. Fun sound effects and atmospheric music accompany each narration, making them a great introduction to “the Bard” for children.
