Perhaps the best-known of Shakespeare's tragedies, Hamlet has
all the ingredients for a gripping story: revenge and power,
familial love and betrayal, dramatic sword fights, dark spooky
scenes. Once again Lois Burdett has woven her own brand of magic by
transforming Shakespeare's complex verse into rhyming couplets. She
has created a version of Hamlet especially for children, even as
young as seven, and one that readers of all ages will enjoy.
At the appropriately named Hamlet Elementary School in
Stratford, Ontario, where Burdett has taught for over 20 years, her
students have created wonderful drawings of Hamlet to illustrate
Burdett's fluid rhymes. The students' interpretations are vivid
evidence of Burdett's clever ability to bring Shakespeare's complex
characters and intricate plots to life for young people.
