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

He loves them! Eats the entire strip!
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Our puppy is the pickiest eater ever ! But he loves these chewes , Kingsley is a tiny Morky that will turn up his nose at just about everything . But one day I saw the chicken chews on Amazon, and thought let’s try . To our surprise , HE LOVES them , and actually looks for them in his treat Jar. They are easy for his little teeth to chew on , and he can carry them to his hiding place, for when he wants a good chew.. the great thing about them is that there is no longer any uneaten bits of raw hide chews all over the floor to step on . He eats the entire chicken strip, and I no longer have to worry about him chocking on tough leather chew strips that smell, and get slimy

Chihuahua puppy loves these!
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My little 13-week-old, 2.4-lb Chihuahua pup loves these chews. They are the perfect size for her tiny mouth.
I hold them for her, and when enough gets chewed that it could break off and possibly cause a choking hazard, I cut that soft part off with the scissors.
-I would never give them to her unsupervised.
-Will purchase again.

I take 3 pills , sleep like a baby
Size: 240 Count (Pack of 1)
Melatonin works well for me as a sleep aid. I take 3 pills, and I usually fall asleep within about 30 minutes.
It helps me relax and fall asleep faster, especially on nights when my mind is active or I have trouble winding down. The effect feels gentle, not harsh.
It is helpful for occasional use, but I don’t rely on it every night.
