Description
Shakespeare''s The Tempest like you''ve never seen it - or read it - before!Classics in Graphics: The Tempest has been adapted into a graphic novel by expert authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by Edu Coll. The fantastical revenge story is a swirling delight on the page - as Prospero conducts the story to his desired end.Classics in Graphics is a series of graphic novels for children aged 10 plus that has inclusion at its heart, flinging wide the doors of literature for everyone to enter and understand. Including dyslexia-friendly design on every page, and encouraging readers to relate to these iconic roles - casting spells, falling in love and winning duels.Each graphic novel includes pitch-perfect illustrations for presenting the tragic, the romantic, the comedic, the magical, as well as:- snappy simplified text presenting Shakespeare''s themes clearly- introductory materials to help set the scene and context of each story- heaps of extra material at the back to keep the learning and fun going, including an exploration of themes in the play, the language, Shakespeare''s inspirations, the publication and performance of the play in history, a timeline of Shakespeare''s life and works, and much more!Plays available in the series include:MacbethThe TempestHamletRomeo and JulietA Midsummer Night''s DreamMuch Ado About NothingPraise for the Classics in Graphics series:"Excellent production and binding, quality paper, and with fantastic writing and illustrations - an encouraging entry point to Shakespeare for my kids, and ease of dive-in for my own flighting or cursory storytelling engagement/whimsy [...] an excellent job converting challenging language and literary themes to make it very inclusive, smoothing ease of understanding dialogue, plot, and narration without dumbing it down. 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 & 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." - EricWilliamson, www.leagueofcomicgeeks.com
