William Shakespeare's Star Wars: The Mandalorian of Nevarro

The Mandalorian, retold in iambic pentameter, with Grogu stealing every scene he is in.

Ian Doescher's bestselling series turns Star Wars into Shakespeare, and this volume takes on the first part of the show: the full story in period-accurate verse, with stage directions and dialogue for every character from Boba Fett to Moff Gideon. The verse is properly written iambic pentameter, which is what makes the joke land.

Twenty woodcut-style illustrations run through the book, giving the armour and the ships an Elizabethan air, and there are Easter eggs buried throughout for anyone who knows their Star Wars, their Shakespeare, or ideally both.

It reads aloud beautifully, which makes it a good one for sharing, and an easy gift for the fan who has read everything else, the English teacher in the family, or anyone who would enjoy hearing a bounty hunter speak in verse.

•   The Mandalorian retold in authentic Shakespearean meter
