William Shakespeare is a writer who everyone is familiar with. When you hear his name you may think of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, or A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Each year around the world, people are recreating his plays, performing them in front of large crowds. During his time, Shakespeare managed to conjure up thirty-seven plays and over 150 sonnets.
His plays are so influential and famous that even animals are taking a liking.
Shakespeare in Fluff is a book that takes Shakespeare’s most popular plays and recreates the scenes with animals as the subject. The backgrounds and tiny costumes are well thought out.

The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies." — Enobarbus.

And I’ll no longer be a Capulet." — Juliet.

Hamlet

"There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue
for you; and here's some for me: we may call it
herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with
a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you
some violets, but they withered all when my father
died: they say he made a good end." — Ophelia.
The Tempest

"I'll break my staff,Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I'll drown my book." — Prospero.
