Comparing King Lear And Edith Nesbit's The Children

In children’s adaptations of Shakespeare’s King Lear, the elimination of the Gloucester subplot is successful without causing major deficiencies, thus causing the subplot to become unessential to Shakespeare’s play.
In the recreation of Shakespeare’s King Lear, created for children, the two main alterations that arise in Charles and Mary Lamb’s Shakespeare for Children, and in Edith Nesbit’s The Children’s Shakespeare, is a narrative style and the shortening of the storyline.
