The 'Tales of Shakespuss' re-tell elements of Shakespeare's plays to a very early age audience. Cute animal characters form the acting troupe to do so, these are based in general on the names of Shakespeare's actors at the time. All of the animals subsequently physically portray characteristics of the roles they are playing in the stories. These books are intended to engender a basic love for the stories within the Shakespeare plays, Shakespuss essentially representing the Children's Bard.

This is the third book in the series of Shakespeare stories for very young children. The stories comprise elements of Shakespeare's plays presented in an easy to understand formula designed to be read to children from as early an age as they are able to have stories read to them. In time it is hoped they will progress to early reading as they begin to relate the text to the pictures. The stories are illustrated on every page in order to maintain the interest of the child, understanding the story from a visual sense thereby gaining knowledge of the words used within the book.
