Ophelia: Queen of Denmark

Author: Jackie French

Format: Paperback

A book that re-imagines the life of one of Shakespeare's most intriguing female characters.

She is the girl who will be queen: Ophelia, daughter of Denmark's lord chancellor and loved by Prince Hamlet.

But while Hamlet's family stab, poison or haunt one another, Ophelia plans a sensible rule, one filled with justice and delicious cheeses. Even if she has to pretend to be mad to make it happen, Ophelia will let nothing - not even howling ghosts - stand in her way.

This is Shakespeare's play, but with what might also have happened behind the scenes. And this story has a happy ending.
