King Lear (Staged: the origins of YA’s greatest tropes) - William Shakespeare

Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of power and treachery. The price for power is paid in blood. The ageing King Lear must divide his kingdom between his daughters; but who to choose? Goneril and Regan, who love him loudly and flatter his ego, or the self-contained Cordelia, who waits for fate to bring what it will. It is a decision that will unleash a storm upon the kingdom. A decision twisted by love, by smiles, by quiet treachery. A decision that could undo them all. King Lear is Shakespeare’s iconic tale of ego and betrayal. Discover STAGED, a limited collection of Shakespeare’s unabridged plays that celebrates the genius of the Bard and the tropes that continue to delight YA readers to this day.
