  Things can be much more than things. 
  Why do we love the things that we do? The old guitar, the champagne flutes, the miniature model car—and what happens when those objects change hands? In the buying and the selling of things, objects once loved but perhaps discarded or forgotten, we find a treasure trove of untold stories. . . stories of pain, joy, hope, dreams, disappointment. 
  What new purposes might unfold when these objects move from old owners to new? What spiritual, unseen things happen in that ordinary human transaction? Can love be passed on through pre-owned possessions?
  New York Times bestselling author Nikki Grimes invites us to discover what her grandmother taught her—how there is value in the old and used, and how things are much more than things—they are stories of our humanity. Wise, thoughtful, and unsparingly candid, this unique and moving collection of stories-as-verse helps us on our journeys of letting go, rediscovering purpose, and experiencing redemption and renewal for the worn out and broken places in our hearts. 
  Step in, look around, have a listen, and be twice blessed.

  Enjoy this InAudio unabdridged edition of Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Experience the drama and tragedy of the Prince of Denmark’s tale told in a fresh new audiobook edition.
   
  Hamlet by William Shakespeare is one of the Shakespeare’s most well-known and beloved tragedy plays. Set in Denmark, it tells the story of Hamlet, a man whose father was murdered and replaced by Hamlet’s uncle Claudius. The play follows Hamlet as he discovers the truth of his father’s fate and becomes more and more distressed and enraged as he plots vengeance against his uncle.
   
  The beautifully written soliloquy's give listeners the inside look of Hamlet’s mind as he sorts through this tragedy–and the continuing tragedies that unfold throughout the play. One of the best elements of Hamlet is the amount that is left to the interpretation of the reader–you can decide for yourself whether Hamlet’s journey is one into madness or clarity, if his father’s ghost is meant to help or harm, if the queen was a part of the murder plot, and other such fascinating questions. Whatever your final interpretations of the events within the five-act play, the experience of Hamlet is like none other.
