About this listen
Shakespeare for Kids adapts and abridges Shakespeare's classic plays presenting them in shorter versions in plain English, in this case our abridged adaptation of The Merchant of Venice runs just under 20 minutes. Short enough to retain the interest of a younger audience.
This conversion from Shakespearian language to today’s English, makes it easier to grasp the narrative structure of the play and appreciate Shakespeare's incredible gift for storytelling. This can be helpful for a younger audience, for those who are newer to the Shakespeare canon and for those who simply looking for a fresh approach to the great works of Shakespeare.
The abridged versions maintain the story and narrative structure of the original plays, but in a shorter version making it easier to digest Shakespeare’s works, which have remained some of the best loved and most frequently performed plays for over 500 years.
The Merchant of Venice is considered a romantic comedy, though has its share of dramatic scenes. A young nobleman wishes to borrow money to spend on a wealthy heiress, but falls foul of an unethical moneylender.

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years - the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source.

But as vile as he is, he is considered one of Trollope's greatest creations.

She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Story
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
