This was my first encounter with any kind of Shakespeare play or literature as a kid, and I found it surprisingly good.
You get A Midsummer's Night Dream (one of my favourites that is rather witty, and not too overbearing or boring like Hamlet for instance), The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet (ugh), and the aforementioned The Enchanted Island,to mention here. The stories here are not as dry and droll as one might fear, for classic plays/literature.
My dear uncle fished this out from a rubbish heap near his apartment, so it was one of the first books I ever owned. I still have the book with me!
