Yet again, Dahlia Adler compiled an amazing set of stories! I've loved Shakespeare since I was in high school, which was when I decided to read all the plays that he wrote. And this set of stories just was amazing. I felt like all of them were good, but I definitely have my favorites. Which are the retellings of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, and King Lear. Definitely some great retellings that took the stories and made them unique, yet stayed with the core. I can't wait to have a finished copy in my hands for my shelf!
