Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing: A Graphic Novel (Classics in Graphics)

Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing like you’ve never seen it – or read it – before!



Classics in Graphics: Much Ado About Nothing has been adapted into a graphic novel by expert authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by Wendy Tan Shiau Wei. The famous battle of wits and misunderstandings reads like your favourite film on the page – as confusion abounds, compounds and finally untangles.

Including dyslexia-friendly design on every page, and encouraging readers to relate to these iconic roles – casting spells, falling in love and winning duels.
