Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare

The writings of Shakespeare have been justly termed the richest the purest the fairest that genius uninspired ever penned. Shakespeare instructed by delighting. His plays alone (leaving mere science out of the question) contain more actual wisdom than the whole body of English learning. He is the teacher of all good- pity generosity true courage love. His bright wit is cut out into little stars. His solid masses of knowledge are meted out in morsels and proverbs and thus distributed there is scarcely a corner of the English-speaking world today which he does not illuminate or a cottage which he does not enrich.
