Henry V

William Shakespeare is the author of the circa 1599 play Henry V. Hilary Burningham was a teacher for many years before moving into writing. She is fervently against the dumbing down of literature and manages to keep the spirit of the original text in her Graphic Novels series. She is the author of several graphic novel adaptations of classics, including the Graphic Shakespeare series, the Graphic Dickins series, and the Graphic Novels series, which includes Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge.

The Graphic Shakespeare series offers an introduction to Shakespeare's plays. The Teacher's Book provides a range of photocopiable activities written to develop pupils' knowledge of the original play.
