Have you ever thought of Shakespeare as a fast-paced, comedy-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 The Merchant of Venice uses a more modern language and narration to capture the story as a novel.

The story follows Bassanio, a young Venetian of noble rank, who wishes to woo the beautiful and wealthy heiress Portia of Belmont.

This book is part of an expanding series that retells Shakespeare into fiction.
