Hamlet: No Fear Shakespeare Side-by-Side Plain English

Reasonably priced, printed on good quality paper with easy-to-understand modern day English translations of the original text. This will really make Shakespeare available to everyone's reach.

When I give five stars, it is not only about the publisher and the ease to read but I did like the story written by Shakespeare. Well, I do appreciate Spark notes to form this easy version where we could even read the simple English version to read...

Very helpful

very nice....the play is in both old english & new english

It's a great product, comes with original and modern text, and character sketches. But doesn't have any extra information or comments as it claims. Otherwise it is a good product, if you are just looking for an easier way to understand Shakespeare's plays.

Great item

Great book. Very handy edition. But came smelling like a 15yr olds boys PE class - showered in cheap bodyspray. Had an oily film on it too. Whoever packed this, lay off the Lynx Africa. So weird and yuck. Both books i ordered, both no fear Shakespeare, in the same package, are the same.

A scuola il nostro professore di Inglese ci fa leggere Shakespeare e questo libro è ottimo poiché ha contemporaneamente testo originale e una traduzione in inglese moderno per capire meglio.

Excelente, incrível opção para compreender bem a obra, valendo o preço a mais
