Blending fact with fiction and written in diary form, this unique biography of Shakespeare captures his life as never before, from his views on daily events to vivid impressions of the Elizabethan era and his role within such a world. Delightfully whimsical, Wearing's distinctive life story provides possible answers to such questions as: What was Shakespeare thinking when he wrote Hamlet? What did he and Ben Jonson talk about when they were having a drink together? Incorporates lines and fragments from Shakespeare's plays and poems.
