I'm a bit baffled by this whole concept. The whole "point" of Shakespeare is not the stories - Shakespeare didn't invent a single of one his stories; they are all taken from other sources. The reason Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest ever English playwright is his use of language. A novelization deprives you of that. What on Earth is the point? Might just as well read a "Cliff Notes" version of the plays if you just want to know what happens in them
