1st printing. No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels is a series based on the translated texts of the plays found in No Fear Shakespeare.

Each book will feature: Illustrated cast of characters; A helpful plot summary; Line-by-line translations of the original play; Illustrations that show the reader exactly what's happening in each scene - making the plot and characters even clearer than in the original No Fear Shakespeare books. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
