Richard III - James Riordan

This collection aims to make the best of Shakespearean theatre accessible to a younger audience.

Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is a ruthless, ambitious man with only one thing on his mind - he's determined to become King of England. Richard will stop at nothing to secure his destiny, not even cold-blooded murder. Can anyone stand in his way?

Beautifully illustrated in colour and black and white by Stephen Player.
