To read or not read...that is the question?
We recently read about William Shakespeare in The Mystery of History Volume III. Have you ever heard of ghost writers? I had no idea there was speculation surrounding whether or not Shakespeare was the real author of plays he's credited with. I personally had not read Shakespeare or studied his works. I often wonder about the necessity of it.
After reading this article by LindaFay at Charlotte Mason Help, HUFI, I felt convicted to give it a try. We read "As You Like It" from Lambs Tales From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb. I was quite surprised by it and found it very enjoyable. The kids liked it as well.
Have you incorporated Shakespeare into your studies?
Shakespeare and lambs in the same place?! I was beside myself when I saw your photo! I have always loved Shakespeare ever since I was forced to read it in high school. I'm not sure if he's read much now as he used to be. But I'm a firm believer that the classics (Shakespeare, Dickens, Faust) need to be keep alive even if they are sometime hard to understand.
