Have you ever thought of Shakespeare as a fast-paced, action-filled, page-turning...novel?! Shakespeare plays on stage make for fantastic theatrics! But when you read it as a book...some of it's glory can be lost. This novelization of Macbeth uses a more modern language and narration to capture the story as a novel. The story of Macbeth tells the tragedy of a Scottish general who is told by witches that one day he will be king. Macbeth, urged by both his wife and his own selfish ambition, murders the king and takes the throne. The real story takes off once Macbeth is king and civil war erupts. This book is part of an expanding series that retells Shakespeare into fiction.
