Richard III

---

In this engaging retelling of William Shakespeare’s historical tragedy, Andrew Matthews introduces young readers to one of literature's most notorious villains. The story follows Richard, Duke of Gloucester, a man consumed by ambition and bitterness. Despite being far down the line of succession, Richard uses manipulation, deceit, and ruthless tactics to eliminate anyone standing between him and the throne of England. As he finally crowns himself King Richard III, his reign of terror is short-lived as his past misdeeds catch up with him on the battlefield at Bosworth Field. This adaptation, complemented by Tony Ross's expressive illustrations, explores themes of power, greed, and the ultimate consequences of one's actions.
