I have been after this for a long time but never found it for under £25. Saw it on several sites last week for £15.99 and nearly ordered, but remember to use ShopBot - which came up with BTR Direct selling for £4.99.
Ordered and they contacted me saying out of stock but sourcing from supplier.
It arrived today - really pleased.
Note - now showing at £5.99
Shakespeare: The Animated Tales
Renowned author and Shakespeare scholar Leon Garfield adapts 12 plays, abridged and animated renditions of the classic texts that are fully faithful to the narrative and language of the Bard. The adaptations use a variety of animation techniques and features the vocal talents of Felicity Kendal, Alun Armstrong, Joss Ackland and Zoe Wanamaker, among others. The plays are: 'Macbeth'; 'Hamlet'; 'Romeo and Juliet'; 'Othello'; 'Twelfth Night'; 'As You Like It'; 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'; 'The Taming of the Shrew'; 'A Winter's Tale'; 'Richard III'; 'Julius Caesar' and 'The Tempest'.
Check out the reviews, they are great. They were made some time ago, but seem to have stood the test of time. I remember them from childhood and now have them for my two.

You may also like Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales - similar format. I have searched ShopBot and it is available at several places at approx £3 to £4.
I bought this last year as my son did Chaucer in Yr 7. Please read the review on Amazon before you buy tho so you are aware of some adult themes!! :eek: If you are prepared to explain these to your kids, then it is a great resource to help with understanding Chaucer.£2012 in 2012 = £34.440 -
cheers for this! i home educate my daughter so this will be very useful indeed:T0

I ordered this on 23rd October. Has anyone who ordered from here received theirs as I am still waiting. They sent email on 1st Nov saying they were looking for stock and I could cancel if I wanted.
I don't know why they advertise them if they don't have any idea when stocks will be in :mad:Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.0
