Hamlet Hamlet portrayed by the actor Edwin Booth, c. 1870 Written by William Shakespeare Characters- Hamlet
- Claudius
- Gertrude
- Polonius
The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet (/ˈhæmlɪt/), is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. It is Shakespeare's longest play with 30,557 words. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others".[1] It was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime[2] and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879.[3] It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch—and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella".[4]
Sir Arthur John Gielgud, OM, CH (/ˈɡiːlɡʊd/; 14 April 1904 – 21 May 2000) was an English actor and theatre director whose career spanned eight decades. With Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier, he was one of the trinity of actors who dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century. A member of the Terry family theatrical dynasty, he gained his first paid acting work as a junior member of his cousin Phyllis Neilson-Terry's company in 1922. After studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art he worked in repertory theatre and in the West End before establishing himself at the Old Vic as an exponent of Shakespeare in 1929–31.

I'll be listing a large number of unique harder to find items, clothes, cards, books, comics, mags, music etc... Listing will be a little less descriptive than what I usually do in order to get more listed - Please ask if you have any questions
Reasonable offers are always considered. These aren't cheap. Here's a chance to pick up one at a great price.
I’ve bought and sold on eBay since 1997 – collecting and selling just about everything – if you’re looking for something let me know, I’m preparing to downsize portions of my collections and a large portion of my proceeds will be going to my daughter’s (aka: Little Nubby) college fund. Please check out my eBay store. Many great and interesting items will be listed…
I treat everyone fairly and my feedback shows that. Special requests, wish lists and all inquiries will be answered to the best of my ability. I may not an absolute expert on anything, but I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things….
Shipping Notes:
- I try to get everything out the next available postal day after payment clears, but my ‘day job’ is very hectic and chaotic from time to time so there might be a couple days delay until I can get to the post office. Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive.
- If you need it quickly, just ask and I usually have no problem accommodating your wishes.
- I combine shipping.
- I sell and ship internationally. However, once it leaves the United States, buyers assume the risk of the package getting there, if it makes it to that country intact, which is more than fair. Blame France for that one.....
Shipping rates vary due to location of where the item is being sent. If I offer free shipping on any items it is for the United States only unless noted.
Other Legal-eze:
- I offer a money back guarantee provided I get the item back in the condition it was sent and it’s within 30 days of receipt of said item.
- Payment must be made thru Paypal (per eBay). Unless you are local and can pick the item up. There are other arrangements that can be made if necessary – feel free to ask.
Happy Hunting and Thank You for your time looking at my ‘trinkets’!
