Inhalt: Der 11 Jährige Waisenjunge Darwen Arkwrigth staunt nicht schlecht als er im Einkaufcentre ein ungewöhnliches Flugobjekt entdeckt. Es scheint kein Vogel zu sein, denn dazu hat es zu starke ungewöhnliche Züge an sich, aber auch einem elektronischen Spielzeugflugzeug sieht es nicht ähnlich. Ab...

This novelization of Shakespeare’s famous is pretty good. By and large, it sticks to the original, but some aspects are fleshed out more. Gertrude and Ophelia, for instance, get more room and development (with Ophelia being change slightly). What is particularly nice are the references to other S...

Thought this was a great way to read Shakespeare. I read the play in high school but due to the complicated language most of the plot and dialogue went right over my head.

Die Geschichte von Darwen Arkwright, die A.J. Hartley in “Mr. Peregrines Geheimnis” erzählt, spielt in zwei Welten, die durch nichts weiter als Spiegel von einander getrennt sind.
