Prefaces to Shakespeare: Julius Caesar Book

I have never read or seen the original Pygmalion, but I am very familiar with the musical and movie "My Fair Lady." It's a widely-known tale, and I think one many intermediate readers would find interesting, especially in an adapted form such as this.

The language and vocabulary are easy to understand. Struggling readers may have difficulty with Eliza's diaglogue initially, until they realize it's written phonetically. The pictures are a nice touch, though sometimes I found myself wondering why they chose to illustrate that specific moment above others in the chapter. Sometimes the pictures showed the action before it actually was read.

Overall, this is yet another "illustrated classic" that is a good introduction for middle readers. Now I want to find a copy of the original!
