This book contains easy-to-read retellings in modern English of George Peele's complete plays. George Peele was the Elizabethan playwright who wrote these plays: THE ARRAIGNMENT OF PARIS, THE BATTLE OF ALCAZAR, DAVID AND BATHSHEBA, EDWARD I, and THE OLD WIVES' TALE. He also may have co-written TITUS ANDRONICUS with William Shakespeare. In addition, it contains a retelling of THE JESTS OF GEORGE PEELE by an anonymous author. In Elizabethan England, a "jest" is a notable deed.
