Parenting Tips from William Shakespeare? Why not! In this witty new book from James Andrews, you’ll find all the advice you need for any parenting dilemma. The handy collection draws solutions from Shakespeare’s most beloved works, from Hamlet to King Lear to Much Ado About Nothing to the Sonnets, extracting lines that hilariously illustrate the answer to any parenting problem. After all, he did have three children of his own. For example…
Your thirsty toddler wakes you up at 3AM. Shakespeare describes your thoughts perfectly:
“What cursed foot wanders this way tonight?” –Romeo and Juliet
Your son throws a booze party, crashes the car, or commits some other vaguely humiliating infraction or minor illegal act. Shakespeare feels your pain:
“Good wombs have borne bad sons.” –The Tempest
Organized by periods from newborn nightmares to teenage trials, Shakespeare’s Guide to Parenting is a must for every literary parent or parent-to-be. If you want the last word with your kids, nothing beats a quote from Shakespeare.
