Description

Hamlet's father has just died. By the time they've filled in the grave his mother has remarried. Hamlet suspects there was foul play, and it's troubling his spirit. Or maybe he was always troubled. Ophelia is in love with him. His best friend Horatio can't work him out. Then, on a cold still night, Hamlet meets the ghost of his father...This wonderful book, by one of Australia's most-loved writers, takes Shakespeare's famous play and makes it into a moving and full-blooded novel. John Marsden powerfully re-imagines the original characters and story.
