William Shakespeare is the best known writer in all of English literature and has not earned this reputation without reason. This volume contain the complete dramatic works of the literary genius whose work has enthralled audiences since Elizabethan times.

In his works you will find tragedy, comedy, history. romance. fantasy, horror an a vast range of human experience that is still poignant in modern times.

Shakespeare'S heroes and heroines, villains and rogues, are amongst English literature's most enduring characters. Once experienced, who can forget the reasoning of Portia, the scheming of Richard III, the contradiction that is Hamlet, the calculated determination of Lady Macbeth, the jealousy of Othello the ridiculousness of a lovesick and cross-gartered Malvolio, the wit of Beatric and Benedick. the overbearing passion of Venus for Adonis, the forbidden love of Romeo and Juliet or the tragic vanity of King Lear? --back cover

Review of 'The Library Shakespeare' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

6 short stories and each of them are very clever and make you think and laugh at the same time.

They almost feel prophetic in a way, a warning about twitter, alien invasions and offline trolling.

My favourite has to be about the man who could talk to his cat, everytime my cat walks into the room it shouts at me and I am always wondering what it's trying to say. I have also experienced being herded towards the cupboard with food.

I have read a few things by David in his beatdom magazines which are always quite serious so it has been nice to read something light hearted by him.
