The Little Book of Shakespeare is a collection of quotations from the most famous writer of all time. It contains the best quotations from the works of Shakespeare, gathered into sections that cover love and sex, money, work, hopes and fears, sorrow, the passing of time, sleep and dreams, and insults. No one will ever say it better.

In October 1750 Walter Butler, a Waterford sea captain, purchased a ship in the port of Bordeaux and had it refitted there before loading it with wine, brandy, and other French produce for his home port. Renamed the Catherine after his wife, the ship spent the winter in Waterford where Butler and his men prepared for a voyage to Newfoundland. She departed for the fishery in April 1751 with “passengers” (seasonal migrants) and salt provisions, returning home in the fall. Over the next six years The Catherine completed three more round trips to Newfoundland and voyages to London, Tenby, Dublin, Cork, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Seville. The brig was captured off St. Lucar by a French privateer in spring, 1757. Butler’s account of the Catherine survives (Prize Papers, High Court of Admiralty). The ledger contains the most detailed description of a Waterford ship, shipmaster, and crew for the eighteenth century. It is a record of everyday economic exchanges with merchants, traders, artisans, and labourers in Waterford city and in the ports and fishing harbours visited by the Catherine overseas, in England, Wales, France, Iberia, and in faraway Newfoundland.

The narrative unfolds as a profound journey of discovery and reflection, exploring themes of faith, doubt, and redemption. Through engaging dialogues, characters grapple with their beliefs and the significance of their experiences. Set against the backdrop of a transformative path, the story invites readers to contemplate their own spiritual journeys and the moments that shape their understanding of life and faith.

A carefully-selected collection of themed quotations to honour Shakespeare's legacy to the world on the 400th anniversary of the death of the most famous writer of all time. Find out what Shakespeare said about love, sex, revenge, pleasure and work. No-one will ever say it better.
