Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

I'm reading this book for the "a book with a beautiful title" week. I think it's a bit of a stretch but I was really trying to plug it into the challenge somewhere. I actually didn't think much of the title until I was a good way into the book and knew the significance of the title. Sometimes titles mean nothing to a book, sometimes they are just descriptive but in this case I think the title is very meaningful and that makes it more beautiful to me. I'm about half way through the book and it's enjoyable. It's been a quick read. It's one of the Hogarth Shakespeare's retelling. It's the cover version of The Winter's Tale. As I had never read or seen The Winter's Tale I wasn't really seeing the connection until I went back and read the synopsis of the original that's at the beginning of the book. I didn't do this until I was about 100 pages in, I probably should have read it first, hahaha.
