Tales from Shakespeare: Hamlet by Timothy Knapman
Hamlet is miserable after the death of his father, but when the ghost of his father appears and reveals that he was murdered, Hamlet decides to seek his revengeThese versons are retold in modern English but - and I really like this - they include key quotations from the original, in highlighted boxesThe retellings, despite being in modern English, manage to capture the feel of Shahespeare's language and they read aloud excellently; the attractive drawings give readers a feel for the plays and their characters’
