A beautiful set of Playing Cards featuring depictions of the most famous characters from Shakespeare. Play your favorite card games with Romeo and Juliet as the King and Queen of Hearts, Lady Macbeth as the Ace of Spades, and let Adam Simpson's artwork bring Shakespeare's works to life.

The deck is organized into four categories - hearts = lovers, clubs = fools, diamonds = heroes and heroines, and spades = villains, plus of course two jokers. This artistically illustrated deck includes 54 of Shakespeare's most famous characters.

It comes with a booklet containing texts about each character and their place in literary history.
