BEFORE HE WAS A TRAVELING PUPPETEER
Much like Shakespeare, W. G. Simmonds was a man made for the stage. However, before he found his place running a touring puppet theater, Hodder & Stoughton published Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of Simmonds few illustrated books, in 1910. Dramatic, detailed, and deeply human, this 1983 reissue captures the tragedy laced through Hamlet, handsomely bound in full navy leather and featuring all thirty tipped-in color illustrations.
