This is a lively retelling of Shakespeares Hamlet. Follow the quick-witted
Danish prince as he carries out his plan to avenge his fathers death, from the
play that catches the kings conscience to the gripping and bloody finale. This
engaging story is presented as an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which
remains faithful to William Shakespeares original text. A major world classic
made accessible even to reluctant readers. A straightforward narrative in
modern English accompanies key excerpts from Shakespeares original dialogue,
and difficult words and phrases are explained as they occur. Speech bubbles
work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. Endmatter
provides information about the author, the historical background to the period
in which the author lived and a timeline of world events that places the work
in its historical context.
