"Too much of a good thing"-sound familiar?
That phrase came from As You Like It. Shakespeare's influence is everywhere, but let's be honest-his plays can be tough to read. The jokes don't always land. The language can feel like a puzzle. And if you've ever felt lost trying to make sense of a scene, you're definitely not alone.
This edition is here to help.
In Plain and Simple English, you'll find the original text of As You Like It printed side by side with a modern English translation in italics. It's not a summary or a rewrite-it's a way to follow along with the real text while having a little help when the language gets tricky.
Whether you're reading for class or just want to finally understand what's so great about Shakespeare, this edition makes it a lot easier to enjoy the play as it was meant to be read.
