Great Characters from Shakespeare Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls)

Great condition, thanks!

I purchased these for our elementary Shakespeare team to get costume ideas. The kids love them.

These are awesome for teaching kids about Shakespeare. However, they are incredibly detailed (👍🏻) and are not perforated to tear out easily (👎🏻). If you purchase, get a sharp hobby knife too.

I love the history, the attention to detail, the art!!

Outstanding quality. My daughter loves them.

I think it's a cute book, but it was difficult cutting the characters out and then aligning the costume with the actor. Definitely a good educational tool for my English Language Learners learning Shakespeare; I just wish it were perforated.

Tom Tierney's paper doll books from Dover are wonderful as teaching aids for students of all ages; I use them for college freshmen and sophomores, and my students love seeing the costumes and getting a visual image of the characters and the "look" of the plays. The Shakespeare dolls are amusing because they are Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (as seen in the film version of "The Taming of the Shrew" of course!), but the costumes are lovely and very detailed. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who teaches Shakespeare -- either for class use or as a personal possession!

This is a fun extra to get children interested in Shakespeare. Good for Primary school students but also could be used for High school in a limited way. One of those paper doll books your 'grandma bought you when ill'.Children learn all the names of characters and can colour and see the costumes they wore. Yes, I vote for this book as a fun way to learn about Shakespeare's wonderful characters.
