| Summary |
"The Rarer Action, Shakespeare's The Tempest Retold is a fresh look at this centuries old story told in rhyming verse and accented with richly textured drawings. For his modern retelling Pete leaves iambic pentameter in the 1600's, turning instead to the fast-paced anapestic tetrameter made famous by Theodor Geisel. The result is an infectious verse, best read aloud, whilst Prospero, Caliban, and all the others come alive through Will's bold pen and ink sketches. From the opening scene of the ship being tossed about at sea, to Prospero's unforgettable closing epilogue, this version of Shakespeare's The Tempest captures all the excitement and beauty that previously could be found only in a staged production. Faithful Gonzalo, duplicitous Antonio, bumbling, drunken Stephano and Trinculo, and the rest of Shakespeare's colorful cast all jump off the pages"--AbeBooks. |
