"Pericles: Prince of Tyre" -William Shakespeare

Every once in a while, I read a Shakespeare play. First, to keep my skill up and second, I want to read all of them eventually.

Pericles is on the run, wins a princess by in a contest, and marries her. His wife gives birth during a storm on a ship as they travel back to Tyre. The wife dies and Pericles leaves the child with a nurse. The wife lives, the child is run off by the jealous nurse, and in a classic Shakespeare Act V, they all find each other in the end.

Pericles is one of the easier plays of Shakespeare I've ever read. There is a lot more rhyming and it's fairly short.
