William Shakespeare's Star Wars Trilogy: The Royal Imperial Boxed Set

The boxed, hardcover set of William Shakespeare’s Star Wars Trilogy, by Ian Doescher, is now available.


Last year, Mark shared an excerpt of this lovely book. I just received the kindle edition and am head over heels, I can’t wait to read it to my kid. I will also, likely, be giving several copies of this set as holiday gifts.

Doescher has retold Star Wars, largely in iambic pentameter, as if it were a play written by the Bard. Not a campy or goofy parody but a surprisingly well done tribute, this is a special treat. The art work is also fantastic.
