See What Our Ebook Customers Have To Say

“Your ebook was a godsend because it was distinct, easily accessible and very child friendly. The resource I obtained from you has been used again and again”

M Browning


“I have used No Sweat Shakespeare’s versions of both Hamlet and Macbeth with my 11th and 12th grade students. I can honestly say that your texts allowed my students to fully engage in Shakespeare’s text and, most importantly, to enjoy them. They found the story format much easier to read than the original script format.”

Lisa Melody


“I needed a version of the play that was not a “watered down” text that my students could understand and get the meaning from so that they could relate to the themes of the play without getting lost in the language. This version has been instrumental in my students’ understanding and I am so glad I found your website.”

Steven Shelton


“The book is authentic, and very close to Shakespeare’s original plot. It also has the WHOLE story there, and doesn’t miss parts out. It explores the characters well, for example when it describes Romeo’s mood… I rate it 5 stars.” 

Jonathan Howard


“I read the Tempest by Shakespeare a couple of times, and I’m not used to that style of language and grammar. Just to be sure I had all the details, I downloaded The Tempest from you. It helped clear a couple things up for me and added some minor details that really helped when it came test time.” 

Kevin Thorpe


“The service you offer is absolutely fantastic and allowed my daughter to be able to understand the play in modern day language, which made reading and following the original much easier. It is with no undertatement the reason she did so well in her English exams. Probably the best money I have ever spent on her education!”

Christine Daly


“I was never too keen on reading Shakespeare, as it is written in very old English and I found it difficult to understand. This book has changed my mind entirely, and made me want to read the other books and try out proper Shakespeare.”

Aaron Jordan


“These are wonderful teaching tools. Language is key in teaching Shakespeare and I often start my students with passages from the literal text, juxtaposed with the same passage from No Sweat Shakespeare . I like the download option; it is perfect for my purposes. I can cut & paste to create my own lesson plans.” 

Patrick Kreischer


“My students patted themselves on the pack for having a deeper understanding of the material than their friends in other classes. Clearly, using your texts was a “win-win” situation for both teacher and students! Thank you for making a master story teller accessible to all students.” 

Jose Pavio

Read FAQs About NoSweatShakespeare Ebooks

What’s So Great About NoSweatShakespeare’s modern English Shakespeare ebooks?

Our ebooks allow you to read Shakespeare’s plays as teenage novels. Each ebook:

  1. Follows the structure of the original play very closely. They’re set out according to the Acts and Scenes of Shakespeare’s text, so are very easy to read in parallel with the original text.
  2. Give an immediate picture of where all the characters are, what they are doing and what they’re saying. They present a very clear picture of each Shakespeare play.
  3. Is around 20,000 words, or 50 pages. You can read the whole ebook in an evening.

What’s the difference between the Shakespeare for Kids ebooks and the modern English Shakespeare ebooks?

The Shakespeare for Kids ebook series is aimed at children aged 8-11. Contentious issues that are unsuitable for younger children – such as Caliban’s attempt to violate Miranda in The Tempest or the sexual content of Romeo and Juliet – are removed or glossed over, so that while the texts still retain their major issues, they are safe.

Modern English Shakespeare ebooks are novelizations of Shakespeare’s plays, aimed at teenage students. However, not a single line of Shakespeare has been lost, so you can pinpoint any word, phrase, sentence or speech in the original Shakespeare text and follow it in every detail in the NoSweatShakespeare modern text.

About Shakespeare Sonnets In Modern English Ebook

The Modern Shakespeare Sonnet ebook is intended to offer an easy read-through to aid understanding of all 154 of Shakespeare’s sonnets. There is no attempt to directly ‘translate’ the poetry word for word, as Shakespeare’s poetry is intense and heavily layered with multiple meanings and use of rhyme, metre, and metaphors.

The ebook contains each of Shakespeare’s original sonnets, alongside an argument of the sonnet and a general impression of the main sense, whilst following each line and image as a modern version.
