Everyone has a day when the sun won’t come out no matter what. For days like that, what could be better than a hilarious comedy such as “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” by Mark Twain. The author takes us on a delightful and unusual journey into Sixth Century England. Time travel backwards with the “Yankee” as he meets Merlin the Magician, King Arthur and many other intriguing characters.
For those Mark Twain fans out there, the eShelf Books collection also includes the complete volume of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer tales. Count on many hours of amazing adventures as you join these wayward, barefoot boys on their journey down the Mighty Mississippi.
On the DVD you’ll also find the complete works of William Shakespeare on our convenient books on DVD. Whether you are a college student wishing to make light reading of one of Shakespeare’s plays, or simply a voracious book worm, you will no doubt enjoy the many comedies written by Shakespeare.
From “Comedy of Errors” to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, Shakespeare had a delightful way of working humour into his stories. His tales of lost loves and whimsical escapades still entertain us today, hundreds of years later. You will enjoy reading these light-hearted Shakespeare comedies over and over.
If you are a college student (lucky you!), books on the eShelf Books DVD is the easiest way to brush up on your Works of Shakespeare for that next big text. For those who have a student in the family, this would be a thoughtful and extremely useful gift idea.
Blackmail and political corruption with a humorous twist? “An Ideal Husband” written by Oscar Wilde fits the bill. From the moment we meet central character, Mrs. Cheveley, and learn of the fraudulent scheme surrounding the building of the Suez Canal, we are hooked. This one is a real page turner.
For all you trivia lovers out there, this book was originally written by Wilde as a play that opened in 1895 at the Haymarket Theater. It was extremely successful and ran for 124 performances before being moved to the Criterion Theater. Extra points for those who know why the play was moved from the Haymarket and eventually abandoned.
The world of comedy would not be complete without Charles Dicken’s delightful series of children’s stories called, “Holiday Romance”. These wonderful tales can be enjoyed by children of any age from 4 to 94.
eShelf Books on DVD includes the complete works of beloved author, Charles Dickens. He has been heralded by many as one of the greatest authors to ever live. Every member of the family will enjoy his marvellous stories whether comedy, adventure or drama.
