Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Never before have Shakespeare's plays been depicted in LEGO bricks, and now Brick Shakespeare: The Tragedies-Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar and Brick Shakespeare: The Comedies-A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Taming of the Shrew are available in one extraordinary hardcover.

With over two thousand colour photographs depicting the most well-known scenes in some of Shakespeare's most well-known plays, this bind-up is the perfect gift for your LEGO- and Shakespeare-loving friends and family!

Fall in love with LEGO Juliet on her balcony as Romeo proclaims his love. See the full effect of Lady Macbeth's manic "Out, out, damn spot!" in a whole new way. Laugh along with LEGO Puck as he mischievously hassles the lovers in the woods. Cast a storm with brick Prospero as he strands his usurping brother on his deserted island.

With this beautiful, two-book collector's set, you can continue to be amazed by Shakespeare as illustrated by your favourite toy.

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
