The writings of Shakespeare have been justly termed “the richest, the purest, the fairest, that genius uninspired ever penned.
     The works of Shakespeare, next to the Bible, are the most highly esteemed of all the classics of English literature. “So extensively have the characters of Shakespeare been drawn upon by artists, poets, and writers of fiction,” says an American author, --“So interwoven are these characters in the great body of English literature, that to be ignorant of the plot of these dramas is often a cause of embarrassment.”
     But Shakespeare wrote for grown-up people, for men and women, and in words that little folks cannot understand. Hence this volume was the object had in view by the author of these Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare.
     And that the youngest readers may not stumble in pronouncing any unfamiliar names to be met with in the stories, the editor has prepared and included in the volume a pronouncing vocabulary of difficult names. To which is added a collection of Shakespearean Quotations, classified in alphabetical order, illustrative of the wisdom and genius of the world’s greatest dramatist.
