Coleman Thomas Randall has written a set of Shakespeare novels, but I can't say how good they are.

The Modern Shakespeare ebooks collection claims to follow the original text entirely; they're $15 each.
$15 for one 800 year old book out of copyright is just extortionate.

no wonder people can't read the classics.

it would cost $150 for 10 books and for all hakespeare books more than $15000.

there must be a cheaper way to get them such as a fan club which turns them into novels for you or some software which could turn a play into a novel in the same way as calibre converts from pdf to epub or mobi,etc...
