Each book has a wonderful appendix including notes on Shakespeare, relevant maps and themes (i.e. for example in Hamlet it goes deeper into its themes of Revenge, Madness \u0026amp; Mortality), and a glossary. For a graphic novel adaptation, I think these books are delightful. [...] They are wonderful and have quickly broken down the wall of \"fear of Shakespeare\" in my house as they are so easy to read and engage. And they have a really nice tactile production value, heft, and readability that makes broaching these often deemed difficult works, FUN. And of course, they are nice to look at.\" - \u003ci\u003eEricWilliamson, www.leagueofcomicgeeks.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steve Skidmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Franklin Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/5\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.7\" H x 7\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781445197784\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48081313333402,"sku":"9781445197784","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781445197784.jpg?v=1779127113","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/classics-in-graphics-shakespeares-a-midsummer-nights-dream-a-graphic-novel-steve-skidmore-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
