Marc Notes: Including 'Hamlet', 'Macbeth', 'Julius Caesar', 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Graphic Shakespeare' is a collection of illustrated Shakespeare classics retold as exciting and fast-paced graphic novels for young readers, a format which is particularly popular with reluctant readers. Publisher Marketing: Classic literature meets contemporary style in a vibrant introduction to five of Shakespeare's most popular plays. These engaging graphic novels, complete with captions in accessible modern English and key excerpts from the original dialogue, bring the Bard's dramatic scenes to life.
