Description
In the midst of Elizabethan England, Richard Shakespeare dreams of a dazzling acting career. For now, he is scraping by using his pretty face, deft thievery, and remarkable eloquence. His relationship with his older brother, whose star is on the rise, is far from friendly, and the last remnants of gratitude for taking Richard in after his escape from Stratford are slowly but surely fading away. When irreplaceable manuscripts of plays sought after by a rival theater go missing, the hero of the book is forced to play the role of his life and steal the texts back. In doing so, he finds himself in precarious situations in dangerous yet also the most noble parts and layers of London, meets a lovely girl, and participates in a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, organized for the wedding of the Lord Chamberlain and in the presence of Queen Elizabeth I herself. The author employs all his storytelling skills and keeps the reader in suspense from beginning to end. This book is likely one of his most impressive works.
