in love and winning duels. Each graphic novel includes
pitch-perfect illustrations for presenting the tragic, the
romantic, the comedic, the magical, as well as: - snappy simplified
text presenting Shakespeare's themes clearly - introductory
materials to help set the scene and context of each story - heaps
of extra material at the back to keep the learning and fun going,
including an exploration of themes in the play, the language,
Shakespeare's inspirations, the publication and performance of the
play in history, a timeline of Shakespeare's life and works, and
much more! Plays available in the series include: Macbeth The
Tempest Hamlet Romeo and Juliet A Midsummer Night's Dream Much Ado
About Nothing Praise for the Classics in Graphics series:
"Excellent production and binding, quality paper, and with
fantastic writing and illustrations - an encouraging entry point to
Shakespeare for my kids, and ease of dive-in for my own flighting
or cursory storytelling engagement/whimsy [...] an excellent job
converting challenging language and literary themes to make it very
inclusive, smoothing ease of understanding dialogue, plot, and
narration without dumbing it down. Each book has a wonderful
appendix including notes on Shakespeare, relevant maps and themes
(i.e. for example in Hamlet it goes deeper into its themes of
Revenge, Madness & Mortality), and a glossary. For a graphic
novel adaptation, I think these books are delightful. [...] They
are wonderful and have quickly broken down the wall of "fear of
Shakespeare" in my house as they are so easy to read and engage.
And they have a really nice tactile production value, heft, and
readability that makes broaching these often deemed difficult
works, FUN. And of course, they are nice to look at." -
