If you feel that you have missed out on Shakespeare; that you would like to understand what on earth he is on about; that you have missed what everyone else has hit; that you are a thick nerd with intellectual ambitions but the mental grasp of pea-brained pigeon - welcome to the club, and weep no more for this is the book for us! Every Lear-ish scene is illustrated by cartoons of such fantastication that they alone bring wonderment, creating as much atmosphere as the stage for which the play was written. But stay - for there are more delights! Each cartoon contains the script for that particular scene writ clear in easy-to-read speech bubbles which are underlined (so to speak) by the expressions and activities of the cartoon characters. The pictures are so full of movement, the faces so expressive of the emotions of the scene that - well, who needs a stage?
The great pity is that in spite of editorial intentions voiced within the cover, the cartoonist Ian Pollock has not, as far as I can make out, graced any other Shakespeare plays with his rich talent. But here is this one jewel, to which I unreservedly award 5 stars.
