An international collection of the traditional tales that inspired some of Shakespeare's greatest plays
Shakespeare knew a good story when he heard one, and he wasn't afraid to borrow from what he heard or read, especially traditional folktales. The Merchant of Venice, for example, draws from A Pound of Flesh, while King Lear begins in the same way as Love Like Salt, with a king asking his three daughters how much they love him, then banishing the youngest when her cryptic reply displeases him. This unique anthology presents more than forty versions of folktales related to eight Shakespeare plays: The Taming of the Shrew, The Comedy of Errors, Titus Andronicus, The Merchant of Venice, All's Well That Ends Well, King Lear, Cymbeline, and The Tempest. These fascinating and diverse tales come from Europe, the Middle East, India, the Caribbean, and South America, and include stories by Gerald of Wales, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Giambattista Basile, J. M. Synge, Zora Neale Hurston, Italo Calvino, and many more. Organized by play, each chapter includes a brief introduction discussing the intriguing connections between the play and the gathered folktales. Shakespeare and the Folktale can be read for the pure pleasure these lively tales give as much as for the insight into Shakespeare's plays they provide.Binding Type: Paperback

Husband loved it!!
Got this for my husband on Christmas and he absolutely loves this. The instructions were straightforward on how to build and it took less than an hour to assemble. The lights are pretty cool. They change different colors and there's different settings with the remote. I will say he did have to nail these to the studs in the wall so it can hold his hefty drinks LOL

A royal pain to install
The width of this item is such that it CANNOT be attached to the wall studs. That is unsafe for something that is intended to hold heavy items like liquor bottles. THEN the anchors that come with it are flimsy so we used a heavier different style anchor (threaded). That said, I like the way it looks, and the light effects.

New Bourbon Shelf
I just got done putting it together and hanging it on my wall. It took approximately 35 minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to hang up. I had to use my own larger wall anchors and screws. I tried the ones that came with it but they didn’t do the job. I am happy with it other than that. Good value and quality materials. As you can see from the picture it holds several bottles and room for more if I want. I think the LED lights look great as well.
