William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and dramatist of the
Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known
author in all of English literature and often considered the
greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least
twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays
were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not
widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a
great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues
today.

"A magnificent production, with John Glover as King Henry IV and Jamie Glover as Prince Hal, also offers an outstanding supporting cast, musical interludes, and sound effects. A collector's item for any audiobook library."-- "AudioFile"
