Hamlet: Volume 1

Read Hamlet in graphic-novel form - with NO FEAR! NOW IN COLOUR! Based on the No Fear Shakespeare translations, this dynamic graphic novel - now with colour added - is impossible to put down. The illustrations are distinctively offbeat, slightly funky, and appealing to teens. Includes: - An illustrated cast of characters - A helpful plot summary - Illustrations that show the reader exactly what's happening in each scene - making the plot and characters clear and easy to follow '...makes the Bard even more accessible...its clear, black-and-white scenes often shifting into a stark, expressionistic mode that heightens the drama. Along with a nicely digestible version of the play, this will give readers a feel for Shakespeare's language and wordplay.' - Booklist
