Shakespeare’s Storybook was my first book from the publishing company Barefoot Books. I loved it so much, I was telling my stay at home mom friends to become book sellers. Then, when I relocated to London and found myself unemployed I decided to take the plunge. Barefoot Books complements well with Budding Artists. The books are top quality-beautifully illustrated and the short story collections are fantastic. Shakespeare’s Stories is a collection of 7 folk tales popular during Shakespeare’s time. These are the folktales that inspired him to write his plays. I have read this book to junior students and have had excellent discussions on the themes. You can also purchase this book with accomapanying CDs for long car rides.
I am not actively selling these days, choosing to focus on Budding Artists instead. However, I maintain a Barefoot Books marketplace page. Any commissions earned will be donated in books to a high needs elementary school in London, Ontario. Watch out for their free shipping promotions. Its a great deal! Be aware that you still have to pay $10 for customs. Unfortunately, if you pay for shipping, this fee is added on top which makes it very expensive. If you are not in rush for a title and you live in London, call me and I will order it during the free shipping promotion and you can save the custom fee.
