"The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Timon of Athens" are two of the four Shakespearean plays with cities in their titles--besides the previously mentioned “Merchant of Venice” and “Two Men of Verona.”
Today's Question:
Name the Russian author who noted, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
I've seen this quote in a self-help book before; I'm pretty sure it was Tolstoy.
