Named One of the Best Books of the Year by the St. Paul Pioneer Press

"An absorbing bildungsroman that grapples with strikingly contemporary issues of gender and religious identification"--New York Times Book Review

"An exquisite portrait of a Renaissance woman pursuing her artistic destiny in England and Italy, who may--or may not--be Shakespeare's Dark Lady."--Margaret George, best-selling author of Elizabeth I

Aemilia Bassano Lanier is beautiful and accomplished, but her societal conformity ends there. She frequently cross-dresses to escape her loveless marriage and to gain freedoms only men enjoy--and then a chance encounter with a ragged, little-known poet named Shakespeare changes everything.

The two outsiders strike up a literary bargain: they leave plague-ridden London for Italy, where they begin secretly writing comedies together and where Will falls in love with the beautiful country--and with Aemilia, his Dark Lady. Their Italian idyll, though, cannot last. Will gains fame and fortune for their plays back in London and years later publishes the sonnets mocking his former muse. Not one to stand by in humiliation, Aemilia takes up her own pen in her defense, and in defense of all women.

"The idea of a smart, beautiful, artistic woman telling Shakespeare, 'We shall write comedies, you and I' is as heady as the elderflower wine Aemilia's household staff brews."--Washington Post

"Atmospheric, well-researched, carefully plotted...and, like Shakespeare's plays, chock-full of equal parts mirth and pith to please all."--Minneapolis Star Tribune

Best nail clipper for toenails
Color: Green, Color: Green
Great product! Nail clippers and scissors are small enough to use on a newborn / infant especially the toes. It’s been so hard to cut her toenails with other products we bought but these work really well AND they’re cute

Perfect Baby Nail Kit – Everything You Need in One Set
Color: Green
I absolutely love the YIVEKO Baby Nail Kit! It’s a complete 4-in-1 set that comes with baby nail clippers, scissors, a nail file, and tweezers, all neatly packed in a cute owl-shaped case. It’s everything I needed for my little one’s nail care, and the tools are all designed specifically for babies, making them gentle and easy to use. The clippers and scissors are sharp enough to trim nails cleanly without being too harsh, and the tweezers are perfect for gently removing any little hangnails or bits of dirt. I also really appreciate the nail file, which helps smooth out any rough edges. The case is adorable and keeps everything organized, which is a nice bonus. This kit is perfect for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for an all-in-one, safe nail care set!

Adorable Set with Holder
Color: Green
Absolutely a cute addition to a woodland forest themed nursery. I put this, along with other things into a bear basket for a baby shower gift. I love the little owl holder which keeps everything in one place and organized. Such a useful gift with a sweet appearance.
