Those familiar with Jim Christensen's (literally) fantastic artwork will not be a bit surprised at his passion for Shakespeare. The Bard's material is pure fodder for Christensen's irrepressible imagination as he ably demonstrates in this lively and intriguing sketchbook. Kings, queens, knaves, and clowns, at least one character from each of the plays appears across these pages, plus some not-quite-human characters inspired by The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare himself makes an appearance as the somewhat befuddled father of this most diverse community. Filled with fun and countless discoveries for both the novice and the lifelong Shakespearean, the accompanying text has a performance of its own, including notes on the language, the myths, the murders, and the perpetual universality of the stories.
