Product Description
Lear plans to give away the work of ruling while keeping the name of king. That decision makes the raised crown on this miniature book-shaped keyring particularly apt. Its mustard-yellow front carries the title King Lear above the crown, with William Shakespeare beneath and antique brass-coloured edges framing the design. A small piece of the tragedy to take wherever your keys go.
The King Who Keeps His Name
At the beginning of King Lear, the ageing king asks his three daughters to declare how much they love him before he divides his kingdom. Goneril and Regan offer the grand speeches he wants to hear. Cordelia refuses to flatter him and loses her father's favour. Lear hands over the powers and revenues of rule, yet expects to retain the title and honours of a king. The choice soon leaves him exposed to the very people he believes will care for him. On the keyring, a single crown recalls that uncomfortable gap between a title and the power behind it.
A Little Book for Everyday Keys
The charm is shaped like a small book, its mustard-yellow cover edged in antique brass-coloured metal. Raised lettering names King Lear above a crown, while William Shakespeare appears below. The edge has the suggestion of a book spine, a pleasing touch for anyone who keeps their favourite plays close. A short chain connects the charm to a split ring, ready for a set of keys or a suitable loop on a bag.
For Someone Who Knows the Storm
A King Lear reader will recognise where that first scene leads: a family split apart, a king out on the heath and a daughter whose honesty mattered more than fine words. The keyring is a little acknowledgement of the play they have kept returning to, rather than just a piece of royal decoration. Presented on a backing card, it is a thoughtful addition to a birthday book parcel or a small thank-you for a theatre companion. They can carry a reminder of the story without carrying the book itself.
