Macbeth: A Shakespeare Story

Three witches made a prophecy — and a good man let it in.

Macbeth is a brave general, a loyal subject, and a man with a fatal flaw: he will believe what he wants to believe. When the witches whisper of a crown, and Lady Macbeth whispers even louder, the path towards darkness begins. Andrew Matthews retells Shakespeare's most chilling tragedy in vivid, accessible language, with Tony Ross's stark black-and-white illustrations making every moment felt.

Macbeth is the tragedy of ambition eating a person alive — of what happens when you become so focused on what you want that you destroy everything you are. Matthews handles this with extraordinary clarity for young readers.

An outstanding Shakespeare introduction for readers aged 9 and up — the darkest of the Shakespeare Stories series, and in many ways the most unforgettable.
