Edith Nesbit
Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare
MP3 CD
(IDB Productions Sept. 3, 2017)
A 1907 fiction compilation by E. Nesbit with the purpose of amusing little children and narrating Shakespeare's theatricals in a style they can clearly decipher. She encompassed a short life account of William Shakespeare, a verbalized reference to many of the hard-to-pronounce sobriquets and some magnificent aphorisms. These Beautiful Stories of Shakespeare consists of: A Midsummer Night's Dream; The Tempest; As You Like It; The Winter's Tale; King Lear; Twelfth Night; Much Ado About Nothing; Romeo and Juliet; Pericles; Hamlet; Cymbeline; Macbeth; The Comedy of Errors; The Merchant of Venice; Timon of Athens; Othello; The Taming of the Shrew; Measure for Measure; Two Gentlemen of Verona; and All's Well That Ends Well. In the baptismal records of the church of Stratford-upon-Avon, a marketplace in Warwickshire, England, stated, that on April 26, 1564 is the date of baptism of William Shakespeare to his father John Shakspeare. The baptism is recorded in Latin —"Gulielmus filius Johannis Shakspeare." His date of birth has taken place 3 days prior to his baptismal, however, this is yet to be proven. The last name was differently spelled, the playwright himself not often spelled it as stated in his records. The record implies that his last name is spelled as Shakspeare, in many original signatures of the playwright it is spelled as Shakspere, and in the first publication of his books it is written as Shakespeare. Halliwell said that there are not more than 34 ways in which the diverse members of the family of Shakespeare ascribe the appellation, and in the council-book of the corporation of Stratford, where it is presented 166 times through those times when the playwright’s father was municipal official, there are 14 distinct spellings. The contemporary Shakespeare is not listed.
