In
Shakespeare Well-Versed James
Muirden captures the
essence of each of the bard’s plays in quick-witted,
rhyming verse. These clever synopses--with varied rhyme schemes--bring to life the high points and high jinks of all of Shakespeare’s plays. Here the
best-loved scenes and characters—Romeo and Juliet’s
impassioned balcony rendezvous, Henry V's speech before the Battle of Agincourt, Hamlet's
melancholy soliloquy, the three witches meddling in Macbeth--are given fresh perspective by Muirden's charming, insightful interpretations.
