Pericles was only half by Shakespere.
I never read it, but it does sound wonderful. Guy suffers shipwrecks, bad landings, improbable events and the such, turning all the way around to be reuinted with his family. Many had said it was awful, but I cannot see how, seeing how it's by Shakespere. Well, somewhat.
Well, that's not entirely clear. Anyway, Pericles is hilarious: There's a character who vows never to cut his hair again twice in a row. It's almost as much fun as Cymbeline, with the headless body and the bad guy hiding in a chest and creeping out at night to steal the heroine's ring (and to leer a bit, of course)...
