What a nice collection of stories from Shakespeare :)) Revisiting the stories of "Hamlet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream", told in prose, not play verses, was so cool. I actually laughed out loud while reading "A Midsummer Night's Dream", which is a good sign, since this is a comedic story :D And getting to know the stories of "The Merchant of Venice" and "Julius Caesar" was also a great experience ^^

Me ha gustado mucho esta pequeña adaptación de alguna de las obras más importantes de Shakespeare como son: El Mercader de Venecia, Sueño de una noche de verano, Hamlet (mi preferida) y Julio César.

Este libro lo estuve leyendo para el colegio y la verdad me gustaron mucho. Si soy sincera la única historia que me gusto fue A midsummer nights dreamer de las 4 historias me pareció la más original y linda. Les recomiendo mucho este libro y mas si quieren empezar a leer sobre este increíble autor, William Shakespeare 💕 how can you hope for mercy for yourself when you show no mercy to Antonio? THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
