solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. i found the neatest book; tales from shakespeare by charles and mary lamb. first published in 1807, this volume of shakespeare's plays was written in prose to better introduce students to the works of the bard. for someone who does not read fiction i am finding this book very pleasant; perhaps because it seems more like a reference book than a book of fiction. one aspect of shakespeare i have discovered by reading the plays written in prose is that the stories are mere fairy tales! and there's always a moral to the story.
