Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale opens in a Sicilian palace, where Polixenes (the King of Bohemia) is visiting his childhood BFF, Leontes (the King of Sicily). After a nine month visit, Polixenes is ready to head back home to Bohemia, but Leontes's devoted wife, Hermione, convinces Polixenes to stay a little bit longer. (We should point out that Leontes asks his wife to convince Polixenes to stay, and you'll see why this is important in a moment.) As Leontes watches his wife and best bud chat it up, Leontes suddenly becomes wildly jealous and suspects that his very pregnant wife is having a torrid affair with Polixenes - Leontes is certain that Hermione is carrying the man's love child. Leontes quickly arranges to have his old pal poisoned, but when Polixenes catches wind of Leontes's plot to have him off'ed, Polixenes flees with a Sicilian guy named Camillo to his home in Bohemia.Leontes is furious, so he throws his pregnant wife in the slammer, where she gives birth to a daughter (later named Perdita). Paulina, a good friend of Hermione and the only person willing to stand up to the jealous king, takes the newborn to Leontes and attempts to talk some sense into him. But, alas, King Leontes refuses to acknowledge that he is the baby's daddy. To make matters worse, Leontes orders one of his men, Antigonus, to take the little "bastard" for a ride out to the Bohemian "desert," where baby Perdita is left to the harsh elements. (Yeah, we know there's no "desert" in Bohemia but sometimes you just have to go with the flow.) Meanwhile, Leontes puts Hermione on trial for adultery and treason (despite the fact that Apollo's Oracle announces Hermione is totally innocent and warns that the "king shall live without an heir" if Perdita, who is in the process of being disappeared, is not found. During Hermione's trial, a servant enters with news that Prince Mamillius (the precocious young son of Hermione and Leontes) has died because he's been so upset about the way Leontes is treating his mother. When Hermione hears the news, she falls to the ground and, soon after, we're told she is also dead. Leontes realizes what he's done and has a sudden change of heart - he immediately falls to his knees and begs forgiveness from the god Apollo for being such a rotten husband, father, and friend, which is nice to hear but is pretty much a day late and a dollar short. Meanwhile, Antigonus reaches the coast of Bohemia (yeah, we know there's no "coast" in landlocked Bohemia either, but again, we just have to go with it). Antigonus dumps off baby Perdita and...is promptly eaten by a hungry bear! (We're not even kidding.) Luckily, an Old Shepherd happens along and finds baby Perdita, along with a bundle of riches and some documents that detail the kid's royal heritage. (Remember this, because it's important later.) The Old Shepherd and his country bumpkin son (the Clown) decide, what the heck, let's keep the cash and raise the kid as our own. A figure called "Time" appears on stage and announces that sixteen years have passed and the audience should just sit back, relax, and enjoy Big Willie Shakespeare's show. (FYI: Flash-forwards were kind of a big no-no on the English Renaissance stage so, Shakespeare's being kind of innovative and irreverent here. Check out "Setting" if you want to know more about this.) At a Bohemian sheep-shearing festival (a big, spring/summer party that uses sheep haircuts as an excuse for everyone to celebrate the nice weather and for young people to hook up), we learn that Perdita has grown up to be the prettiest girl in Bohemia (which is why she gets to be Queen of the Feast) and is going steady with a gorgeous young prince named Florizel, who just so happens to be the son of King Polixenes. (Yep, that's Leontes's ex-best friend all right. You probably see where this is going.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.

Book excerpt: Originally published in the First Folio of 1623, William Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" is a play which has been classified by some critics as a comedy and by others as a romance. The confusion arises out of the fact that the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama while the last two acts provide a comedic and happy ending. At the outset of the play we are introduced to two childhood friends, Leontes, King of Sicilia, and Polixenes, the King of Bohemia, who has travelled to Sicilia to visit his old friend. After several months of joyful reunion, Polixenes yearns to return home to attend to his affairs and see his son. Leontes however doesn't wish to see his friend go and implores his wife, Queen Hermione, to try and convince him to stay. Hermione easily convinces Polixenes, which should make Leontes happy, but instead arises suspicion that the two may be engaged in an affair considering how quickly Hermione is able to change Polixenes' mind. The jealousy of Leontes sets in motion a series of events which threaten to ruin his entire kingdom and legacy. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes a preface and annotations by Henry N. Hudson, and an introduction by Charles Harold Herford.
