5.0 out of 5 stars Hamlet Retold, March 4, 2008

By 

Jeff Baldwin (Del Mar, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Little Less Than Kind (Crime Classic) (Paperback)

This book can be read at two levels. For someone who never heard of Shakespeare it is s good 20th Century yarn. Those familiar with Hamlet will recognize the Danish Prince, Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius, Polonius,Laertes, Horatio and most of the other characters from the greatest tragedy ever written who are wonderfully reproduced under of course different names. Charlotte Armstrong the great mystery and suspense write was obviously also a Shakespearean scholar. This is a wonderful read.
