Hamlet for beginners...



Hamlet  - Shakespeare Stories by Andrew Matthews & illustrated by  Tony Ross 


Hamlet For Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!) by Lois Burdett 







Are you struggling to understand the basics of Hamlet? 

  • Who is Yorrick and why is he a skull? 
  • Why is Hamlet so depressed all the time? 
  • What happened to Ophelia? 
  • What is the play within the play all about?

All these questions and more will answered in these two easy to follow adaptations of Hamlet. The story is re-told in plain English to help you understand the complexities of the plot. The addition of terrific illustrations is a bonus and helps bring the story to life. This is a great introduction to the play for students who are reading it for the first time, or are completely bamboozled by the more mainstream versions. Don't be put off by the title - these are for everyone!
