William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, considered by many as the greatest English writer. Hundreds of specialists were able to translate his works into every major language, and most of the plays are performed more often than those of any other author. "The Taming of the Shrew" is a stellar comedy that tells the tale of Petruchio, a fortune seeker who decides to marry Katherina, a strong-willed and even stubborn young woman. Petruchio then tries to tame her temperament in a hilarious style that only Shakespeare can create.

Anne Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Bronte literary family. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is her the second and final novel.

He is deeply intrigued by Helen Graham, a beautiful and secretive young widow who has moved into nearby Wildfell Hall with her young son. He is quick to offer Helen his friendship, but when her reclusive...

To celebrate Peter`s birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter`s original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter`s works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter`s intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter`s original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix...
