Hamlet For Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!)

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p> Perhaps the best-known of Shakespeare's tragedies, <b>Hamlet</b> has all the ingredients for a gripping story: revenge and power, familial love and betrayal, dramatic sword fights, dark spooky scenes. Once again Lois Burdett has woven her own brand of magic by transforming Shakespeare's complex verse into rhyming couplets. She has created a version of <b>Hamlet</b> especially for children, even as young as seven, and one that readers of all ages will enjoy. </p><p> At the appropriately named Hamlet Elementary School in Stratford, Ontario, where Burdett has taught for over 20 years, her students have created wonderful drawings of <b>Hamlet</b> to illustrate Burdett's fluid rhymes. The students' interpretations are vivid evidence of Burdett's clever ability to bring Shakespeare's complex characters and intricate plots to life for young people. </p>
