Book Synopsis

With a foreword by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, author of Ace of Spades


Something is rotten in the state of Denmark'

The King of Denmark is dead. When Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, meets the King's ghost and discovers he was murdered, he swears vengeance against the killer: his father's brother, Claudius, who has married Hamlet's mother and taken the throne.

Furious at this betrayal, Hamlet devises a complex plot to reveal the truth and enact his revenge. But Claudius has a devious plan of his own. Together, they will bring devastation to the entire court.

Hamlet is Shakespeare's timeless story of grief and a revenge so unrelenting that by curtain's close, all the major players are dead.
