About the Book

Shakespeare’s life, told in his own words and beautifully illustrated by a great fan.

Within these pages you’ll find a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s stages, a play on words, which sheds light on the colourful and exuberant world of Shakespeare’s life and times. You won’t find the sainted genius – solemn with quill and ink-stained hand. High of brow he may have been, but never high-brow. Never the snooty artist, locked away from the world, Shakespeare was in the thick of it.
