1992-1994 Shakespeare: The Animated Tales

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Two lovely illustrated volumes of Shakespeare's plays for children. Found in the unclipped dust wrapper. These two delightful volumes are the by-product of a series of twelve half-hour animated television adaptations originally broadcast in the early 1990s. The series was animated by Russian artists, and these two volumes reproduce their delightful illustrations with Leon Garfield's abridged versions of twelve plays. Designed to bring Shakespeare to a wider audience, the project was supported by scholars such as Professor Stanley Wells, Director of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham, and Dr Rex Gibs of the Cambridge Institute of Education.
