I'm 81 years old, and I was avid reader from the first word. In high school, I was taught by an excellent teacher who had us study MacBeth. I loved it. however, it was not an easy read for a teenager. Our meager little Texas school library had a copy of Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, and I devoured it. It gave me an understanding, not just of the stories themselves, but of the ability of the writer. I highly recommend for any age.
