Adaptation for young readers of Shakespeare’s play about magic, betrayal, love and forgiveness. Prospero, the one-time Duke of Milan, his daughter, Miranda, his servant, Caliban, and a sprite called Ariel live on an island. Prospero, a powerful magician, creates a storm that sets the scene for the play. In the events that follow, there’s a plot to murder the King of Naples, a drunken scheme to kill Prospero, and a romance between Miranda and the King’s son, Ferdinand.
