The worlds most popular play, Hamlet is a story of a young prince called upon to avenge his father's murder. William Shakespeare's matchless, poetic masterpiece of romantic tragedy examines the problem of duty, morality and ethics, universal concerns with which men and women have struggled throughout the ages. As one man stands alone, fighting frustration and despair, Hamlet mirrors the hopes and fears common to all humanity. Tom Mandrake's rich artwork skillfully expresses the anguish and torment of the gripping drama. Prestige format, full color 48 pages on glossy paper with $3.75 cover price.
