About This Item
Inscribed by BOTH John Updike and Martha Updike...his wife. John Updike's inscription reads: " Marcia Miner (?) 4/2000 for Marcia there in her lovely home in beautiful vernal Fairfield. Every good wish, John [Updike] 4/23/00
And then on the dedication page the book is dedicated to Martha with this printed underneath her name: De dezir mos cors no fina vas selba ren qu ieu pus arm. It is then inscribed also to Marcia, now by Martha: "For Marcia my former neighbor and good friend. Love Martha"
Pretty cool...the book is in very nice shape but has foxing along the edge. It states it is the Third Printing February 2000.

Synopsis
Gertrude and Claudius is a novel by John Updike. It uses the known sources of Shakespeare's Hamlet to tell a story that draws on a rather straightforward revenge tale in the medieval Denmark depicted by Saxo Grammaticus in his twelfth-century Historiae Danicae, but incorporates extra plot elements added by François de Belleforest in his Histoires tragiques, published in 1576.
