Story
A comedic romance of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night begins with a shipwreck, splitting up Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian. Alone in a strange land, Viola disguises herself as a male servant, Cesario, in order to work for the Duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but it is Cesario whom Olivia falls for. A farcical tale of misplaced love, confusion, gender-swapping and aspiration, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare’s best-loved and inventive comedies....

Story
Hamlet, which dates from 1600-1601, is the first in Shakespeare's great series of four tragedies. In writing this extraordinary play Shakespeare effectively re-invented tragedy after an interval of roughly two thousand years - you would have to go back to the Greek dramatists of 5th century Athens to find anything of comparable depth and maturity. This production features the voice of Anton Lesser as Hamlet along with a full cast.

Story
In Shakespeare's most controversial play, the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved. Antonio promises money to help his friend Bassanio woo Portia. He borrows the sum needed from the cruel Shylock, but there will be a dreadful penalty if the loan is not repaid. The golden world of Portia's Belmont calls forth some of Shakespeare's most lyrical love poetry. But the dark shadow of Shylock is never far from the heart of this brilliant comedy as it moves toward its courtroom climax.

Terrible narration
I have loved the story of Macbeth since I was young. But I regret this purchase. The narrative was terrible, I couldn't make it passed the second scene! The one good thing about this purchase was that now I know to ALWAYS play the preview before purchasing.
Pass this one up! There is a perfectly good casted version with James Marsters that is infinitely better than this.

Whispersync for Voice doesn't work well
Would you try another book from William Shakespeare and/or Flo Gibson?
Love Shakespeare
Any additional comments?
Whispersync for Voice doesn't work well.
I have bought Waxkeep Publishing kindle book and added narration.
This part doesn't sync:
"ACT IV. SCENE I. A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron. Thunder. Enter the three Witches. FIRST WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d. SECOND WITCH. Thrice and"
I have tried it on both note 3 and not 10.1
It is the first time that I have found this problem with Whispersync for Voice.
