From King Lear to Cleopatra, from Lady Macbeth to Juliet: Shakespeare proves, once again, that he is (as he said himself!) the font of all wisdom, including raising children.

Shakespeare's Guide to Parenting Reviews

"Witty and hilariously illustrated enlightenment from an unexpected, yet undeniably erudite source" * Guardian *
"Why not skip "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" and give that harried parent in your life a book that might actually stir up some laughs?

For a man with no kids of his own, Andrews has attained an admirable degree of wisdom about family dynamics." -- Ron Charles * Washington Post *
"I've just been sent a new book that's made me laugh out loud more than once as I've browsed through its pages: James Andrew's Shakespeare's Guide to Parenting. If you're looking for a gift for a new parent, take a look at this delightful little book" * The Shakespeare Blog *
"Humorous, illustrated compilation of parenting wisdom from the Bard... I love it" * Bookseller *
"the bard has the right epithet for most situations, so why not parenting?" * Families South East *
