William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale was first published in 1623 and depicts the story of two kings, Leontes and Polixenes. Leontes accuses his wife, Hermoine, of having an affair with Polixenes and casts her newborn baby daughter out into the wilderness. The daughter, unaware of her royal heritage, becomes a shepherd and falls in love with Polixenes' son, adding a twist to the drama and leading to a romantic, comedic ending.
