Henry V : A Shakespeare Story

---

This book is a compelling prose retelling of William Shakespeare's historical play, Henry V, adapted for a younger audience. The story follows the journey of young King Henry of England, who must set aside his rebellious past to prove himself a worthy and capable leader. After being insulted by the Dauphin of France, Henry leads his "band of brothers" across the English Channel to reclaim ancestral lands. The narrative culminates in the legendary Battle of Agincourt, where Henry’s vastly outnumbered army faces the French forces. This adaptation focuses on themes of leadership, bravery, and the burdens of kingship, all brought to life by Andrew Matthews' accessible language and Tony Ross's vivid illustrations.
