Review of 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I find myself greatly amused, even with the clunk.
Hardcover, 1176 pages
English language
Published June 10, 1971 by Oxford University Press.
First published in 1906 this edition of Shakespeare's Complete Works by W• J. Craig has been many times reprinted. The spelling has been modernized, and the punctuation revised. A short glossary of obsolete words is provided, and there is also an index of characters and of the first lines of songs.
The drawing on the jacket, a reconstruction of the Fortune Theatre, 1600, is by C. Walter Hodges, and is reproduced from his study of the Shakespearian stage, The Globe Restored. --front flap
I find myself greatly amused, even with the clunk.
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.
