A journey through the Bard’s poetry with fun facts—and furry felines. Join a band of curious cats for a journey through William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. Whether it’s friendship, beauty, love, or something saucier, the Bard of Avon has a sonnet for every occasion. Learn what the sonnets mean and read fun facts about the poet, witches, Elizabethan life, and the unfortunate hygiene habits of the sixteenth century. Despite being written four hundred years ago, the sonnets speak to the eternal ups and downs of anyone in love and the struggle to fight our mortality with art. And, many centuries later, we have something else in common with Elizabethans: we find kittens to be utterly adorable.
