"I "highly recommend" Campfire's comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature."

Popularly known as 'The Bard of Avon', William Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon-Avon, most probably on 23rd April 1564. His plays and sonnets have been translated into innumerable languages across the globe, and are undoubtedly the most studied writings in the English language. A rare playwright, he excelled in tragedies, comedies, and histories. Skillfully combining entertainment with unmatched poetry, some of his most famous plays are "Othello," "Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet," and "The Merchant of Venice, " among many others. The characters he created and the stories he told have held the interest of people for the past four hundred years.
