The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, originally published in the First Folio of 1623.
''The Winter's Tale' is high fantasy, a tale to be told by the fire…The play belongs to the type known as "tragicomedy", but Shakespeare has separated the tragedy from the comedy. The first part has the same kind of tragic development as 'Othello'; the second part is pure idyllic comedy. 'The Winter's Tale' is a far better play to hear and see than to read; it needs the voice of the actor to give it life.'

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was een Engels toneelschrijver en dichter. Hij wordt door velen beschouwd als de beste schrijver die Engeland ooit heeft voortgebracht. Shakespeare schreef 38 tragedies, koningsdrama's en komedies. Daarnaast schreef hij 154 sonnetten en een aantal langere gedichten.
Over het algemeen is men het er over eens dat de meeste van de aan hem toegeschreven stukken zijn geschreven in de periode 1585–1610.
