For the contents of the book, see The Tragedy of Hamlet.
 
 
Battle after victorious battle, led by a valiant king
ushered Denmark into an era of peace.
But it was not to last.
For the king's sudden death cast a dark shadow,
the catalyst to a tragic thread of events.
The king's younger brother, Claudius,
married the queen, his brother's wife,
before the king was even cold in his grave.
But there was one who still mourned the king,
One who's tears had yet to dry
His name was Hamlet,
the Prince of Denmark.
