Gifts & Novelty

Bewitching lines from Macbeth, magical songs from A Midsummer Night's Dream and lover's talk from Romeo and Juliet will inspire new characters to be created, new dialogue to be written, and perhaps even a Shakespearean comic strip to unfold. Within the beautifully illustrated pages of this book are opportunities to experiment with Shakespearean words and phrases, whether writing a heartfelt letter to Romeo's cousin, penning a new fairy song for Peaseblossom, or telling your teacher they're an idiot in a brand new play. Budding authors will have stories to write, journal entries to fill in and pictures of new characters to draw, as well as Shakespearean trivia and fun puzzles to complete.
