    About this audiobook

    A Winter's Tale is set in Sicilia where the King, Leontes, is enjoying a visit by his friend the King of Bohemia. When he wants to leave, he tries to persuade him unsuccessfully to stay. Leontes then decides to ask his wife to try and get him to stay longer which she does. He is then consumed by jealousy imaging that the reason she persuaded him so easily was because they were having an affair. Inevitably no good comes from his irrational jealousy in Shakespeare’s tale. This narrative version was written by Mary & Charles Lamb.

    William Shakespeare

    William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
