Shakespeare by Bill Bryson (Paperback, 2008)

Another Bryson Winner

A work of scholarship, Bryson is incapable of writing a dull book. It is the most accessible story of the life and times of William Shakespeare and neatly debunks all the conspiracy theorists who claim that Shakespeare didn't write all the plays, poetry and sonnets which the world has accepted as his.Read full review

Fun to read

Insight on the life and time of Shakespeare written with humour. It was surprising to learn how little we know of Shakespeare. Recommended for anyone who likes him and/or interested in history and one to have a good time. I wish it were longer.Read full review

Worth a lot more than I paid

Reading this book made me realise just why Shakespeare as a playwright is and was so good - worth every penny and - to be fair - a good deal more.
