Reviews

"Young readers will relate to the experiences in Fortunes Fools and the engaging writing style and illustrations by Mark Beech ensure this introduction to one of literatures most well known plays is appealing." -- a Library Lady, Blog

"Ross Montgomery continues his hilarious plundering of the Shakespeare canon ... with plenty of high-octane silliness ... As with previous books in the series, we get the bonus of full and part-page illustrations from Mark Beech who uses his cartoon skills to add an extra dose of bedlam to the proceedings." -- Letterpress Project
