"Sweet are the uses of adversity
Which like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
. . . Duke Senior - AS YOU LIKE IT Act II, scene i, line 2
Shakespeare's Forest is
an Amazon.com associate. Amazon.com is the biggest bookstore on the web.
They provide secure ordering, customer service and they process and ship your order.
You are invited to wander through the Forest at will, enjoying the many leaves and
trails. Should you choose to order a featured selection, you can connect directly to
Amazon.com by clicking on the hyperlink. The hyperlinks are usually an image to the
left of the description or highlighted, underlined words.
Shakespeare's Forest is
organized by the sections listed below. You will find that "up" on any
page will lead you to the "Chapter" heading or parent page. I've tried to
use helpful links and I am working on an ordering directory. The parent pages have
the leaves and the child pages have the squares in the index below.

Example: In Artists, on the Branagh page, going up will lead you
back to the Artists page. If you choose "next" at the bottom of
the page, you will go to the next artist.
To get Home from any page, choose Shakespeare at the page bottom.
To navigate in large pages, there is a table at the top of the page that lets you
