 *Special Note: I would strongly recommend any Shakespeare audiobook which include Sir John Gielgud and/or the BBC. Sir John Gielgud's manner of presenting his Shakespearean character makes the character seem alive and real versus Richard Olivier presentation. Our children will sit and listen to Sir John Gielgud as they can follow what he is saying, but become quite distractable and lose interest with others.

Another STRONG recommendation would be to obtain ---
