I love me some Shakespeare. The pandemic brought one awesome thing - The Stratford Festival put their shows online and I got to watch a bunch of them! I loved reading Shakespeare, I loved attending the plays... Ah, classic literature. So it's natural for me to grab this book! A short but sweet
All of these stories are quirky. I've read a fair amount of them (a few I haven't... yet!), but I still think they were quite fun and made me smile. Those were the quick notes I needed back in high school to help my essay writing!
Overall, this is a great collection to summarize William Shakespeare's stories.
Three out of five stars.
