Synopsis

This puzzle book offers 100 challenging cryptograms made from memorable quotations from the plays of William Shakespeare. Bard aficionados will enjoy scouring their memories for lines that fit the cryptogram patterns, and cryptogram purists will learn more about Shakespeare's beautiful poetry (and dastardly put-downs, lofty prose, and soaring philosophical fancies) as they plow through the decoding process. Over 25 of his plays are represented—it’s not all "To be, or not to be”—and the speakers include all of your favorites, from Falstaff and Puck to Hamlet and Lady Macbeth. And just in case you need help, three levels of hints are provided for each puzzle: the name of the play, a keystone letter revealed, and (if you’re really stuck) a complete word from the quotation. Not that you'll need the clues! The book is newly redesigned for ease of use, with puzzles appearing in a nice-sized plain font for solving. Clues are tucked away safely in their own discreet section, and the quotation answers are sheltered respectfully in the back. Many hours of fun for puzzle solvers and Shakespeare lovers alike!

À propos de l?auteur

Jeffrey O. Haseltine is a long-time college professor and administrator, roles which have left him not unacquainted with the elegant wordplay, witty sarcasm, and heart-rending plots characteristic of Shakespeare. Always one to find intrigue overlying art, he is also the author of “How to Cheat at Cribbage—With Quotations from William Shakespeare.” His tennis opponents suppose he must be better at chess than at tennis, and his chess opponents entertain the reverse notion.
