Rated: 5/5 - "I like the Billie B. Brown books."
My favourite stories are the 12th Night, Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I didn’t like Macbeth or Hamlet, the stories are a bit freaky. It is a compilation of his best known work. They all end in grief – well except for a few of them.
Rated: 5/5 - "Midsummer is the best."
