Shakespeare knew like few others how to dramatize the gossipy lives of kings. More importantly, he knew that just because it was history, that didn't mean it was boring. Today, however, Shakespeare's histories can be a bit of a drudge to plow through. Let BookCaps help with this modern translation of the classic history play.

If you have struggled in the past reading Shakespeare, then BookCaps can help you out. This book is a modern translation of Henry VI: Part One.

The original text is also presented in the book, along with a comparable version of both text.
