From Allie Esiri, editor of the bestselling A Poem for Every Day of
the Year and A Poem for Every Night of the Year, comes this
beautiful gift anthology of Shakespeare's works. Shakespeare For
Every Day of the Year is a magnificent collection of 366 extracts

features an extract - which might be a famous poem, quote or scene
- matched to the date it sits on - and an introductory paragraph
which gives readers a new window into the work, time and life of
the greatest writer in the English language. The book also includes
synopses of each play, a comprehensive timeline covering
Shakespeare's life, major historical events and offering context
for his works, and an index of works which gathers the extracts
under the title of the work they come from. Shakespeare for Every
Day of the Year is perfect for reading or sharing and brings you
Shakespeare's best-known and best-loved classics alongside lesser
known extracts. Esiri's entertaining and insightful thoughts on
each entry will fill your year with wonder, laughter, wisdom and
wit. 'Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year is not just for
Christmas, but for all time.' - Helena Bonham Carter
