He rushed to the library to finish the story only to learn he couldn't understand the original work. So began a lifelong dream of making Shakespeare understandable for all, down the the smallest detail, enlisting the help of the world's most renowned researchers from BBC TV series, QI, to aid him.\n– Please note - this work may not be suitable for readers under 12 years old due to bawdy innuendo. –\nSee also Macbeth Translated, Hamlet Translated, Romeo and Juliet Translated, Othello Translated, Twelfth Night Translated, King Lear Translated, and Julius Caesar Translated by SJ Hills.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1701801191\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1701801191.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hills, SJ|Shakespeare, William\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
