    About this ebook

    Enjoy four of Shakespeare’s tragedies told with LEGO bricks. Here are Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar enacted scene by scene, captioned by excerpts from the plays. Flip through one thousand color photographs as you enjoy Shakespeare’s iconic poetry and marvel at what can be done with the world’s most popular children’s toy.

    Watch the brick Hamlet give his famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy, and feel brick Ophelia’s grief as she meets her watery end. Lady Macbeth in brick form brings new terror to “Out, out, damn spot!” and brick Romeo and Juliet are no less star-crossed for being rectangular and plastic. The warm familiarity of bricks lends levity to Shakespeare’s tragedies while remaining true to his original language.

    The ideal book for Shakespeare enthusiasts, as well as a fun way to introduce children to Shakespeare’s masterpieces, this book employs Shakespeare’s original, characteristic language in abridged form. Though the language stays true to its origins, the unique format of these well-known tragedies will give readers a new way to enjoy one of the most popular playwrights in history.

    John McCann

    John McCann was born in Augusta, Georgia. When he was nine years old, he chipped his front teeth. The teeth became an awful overbite that prevented a social life. His first kiss nearly cut the young lady's lip. When John would speak, people would hold their hand over their mouth. His father died at an early age and his mother was financially unable to have John's overbite corrected. John escaped his embarrassment with alcohol until he realized that God had a plan for his life. John worked as a computer programmer while dedicating his life to studying the Word. He earned a Th.D. from Christian Life School of Theology. His book, Rare Spiritual Robotics, is a compilation of his studies that reveal the sovereignty of God and the misapplications within contemporary Christianity
