If you admit you were
"small and in primary school" when you read them, how can you be
certain they weren't abridged and/or dumbed down?
Also, I would be very surprised if
"this book was a collection of shakespeare tales including tempest,merchant of venice ,macbeth,othello..etc.etc" and it
didn't shorten or abridge the stories in some way. A child wouldn't have been able to
hold an unabridged, novelized book that contained all of those stories.
