"Interesting."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

My 10 year old daughter thinks this book was a bit confusing (loads of things were going on at the same time and the names were hard to understand) but interesting. She enjoyed it. She recommends it for 11+ year olds.

"Accessible introduction to 7 plays"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Makes an introduction to Shakespeare feasible for kids. Pages are busy – with quotes / comic strips and brief story lines on every page. Each play is fitted into only 4–8 pages – so there's lots going on, and you need to take it slowly. However I think it's a worthwhile addition to the bookshelf. Can understand the previous reviewer's comments of 11+ (it's not inappropriate for adults who want to gently introduce themselves to / reacquaint themselves with Shakespeare), but it might also work for slightly younger kids if they were adept with graphical novels and took their time.

Description

Seven classic Shakespeare plays presented in an accessible comic strip format. Take your place in the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare's day to see seven of his best-loved plays in performance. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest are all brought vividly to life in Marcia Williams' gloriously accessible comic-strip versions, which include the bard's own dialogue and the rowdy remarks of the audience.
