Product Description
Product Description
The entire Shakespeare play - unabridged! "The course of true love never did run smooth;" With its mix of real people who stumble into a fairy kingdom (with it's own problems!) it's little wonder that this play is one of the best loved and most performed of all Shakespeare's masterpieces.

Format:Paperback
A beautifully crafted 130-page graphic novel, a format that's ideally suited to one of Shakespeare's most mystical and magical plays.
The excellent illustration, vivid and expressive, makes it so clear what's happening in the text that you should aim for the Original Text version if you possibly can, for full effect, leaving the Plain Text and Quick Text versions for the youngest readers. It's colourful without being 'cartoony', which each scene presented very emotively, full of contrast that brings it to life.
A handful of pages at the end of the book are a very brief introduction to how graphic novels are made and who Shakespeare was, possibly a little over-simplified.
An excellent teaching aid, but also a good graphic novel in its own right.

Format:Paperback
Shakespeare's best-loved play is enduringly popular, especially for outdoor performances, so it is familiar to many. This version is the full text. There are plenty of graphic novels/plays being produced now, but these editions by Classical Comics stand head and shoulders above the others. There are two main reasons for this. Each of the Shakespeare plays in the series is produced in three versions - original text; plain text and quick text. These make the plays accessible to all. The second reason is the superlative quality of the production - the books are produced on thick glossy paper and the quality of the illustrations is fantastic. I found it interesting to read about how the superb illustrations by Jason Cardy and Kat Nicholson were produced.

Format:Paperback
The most entertaining version of A Midsummer's Night Dream out there! The artwork is fun and colourful and expressive, and is a delight to look at all on its own! The text is direct from the original play. I admit that I was a bit hesitant at the idea of 'comic-ized' Shakespeare, but having thought bubbles in place of soliloquies alone makes this well worth picking up!
