A Pleasant Commodie of Faire Em, the Miller's Daughter of Manchester, with the …
William Shakespeare
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
By Shakespeare? Almost certainly not, but 1) it was found in a volume labeled Shakespeare in the library of Charles II, and 2) C. F.

At any rate, it is a decent comedy with William the Conqueror in disguise, and Fair Em not what she appears to be either.
