Great Scenes from Shakespeare's Plays Coloring Book

Hamlet in the graveyard, musing over the skull of Yorick the jester; Juliet on her balcony and Romeo in the courtyard below, exchanging rapturous reflections on their new-found love; mad King Lear, railing at the elements in the midst of a howling storm upon the heath -- these and other immortal scenes from Shakespeare's best-known and most-loved works appear in this unique coloring book.
Colorists of all ages will thrill to these finely-rendered depictions of memorable tableaux from Macbeth, Othello, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, The Merchant of Venice, Richard III, Twelfth Night, and other famous plays by the Bard.
