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.

Hydrating sunscreen
This is a great sunscreen for dry sensitive skin, even combination skin specifically if you’re using acne products that can dry out your skin. My dermatologist recommended this to me due to my rosacea and dry flaky skin. It helped me maintain my skin moisturize during the day, also adds a healthy glow to the skin. It has a liquid consistency which I love cause it makes it so much easier to blend and absorbs faster into the skin. I wouldn’t recommend so much for oily skin though, it can make you look greasy really quick!!

Delicious flavors and reliable sun protection
Scent: Coconut, Banana, Watermelon, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These Sun Bum SPF 30 lip balms are perfect for anyone looking to protect their lips from the sun while keeping them smooth and moisturized. I appreciate that each tube in this variety pack provides broad spectrum SPF 30 protection with soothing aloe and vitamin E, which nourish my lips instead of just sitting on the surface. The coconut, banana, and watermelon flavors are deliciously tropical without being overly sweet, and the balm glides on easily without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. I also love that the formula is reef-friendly and free from harsh chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, so I can use it confidently at the beach or on the slopes. Overall, this set has become my go-to for daily lip care and sun protection, and I would gladly reorder it or give it as a thoughtful gift to friends and family.
