Befriend the Bard‪!‬

Its perfect timing for a witty and moving re-telling of story of Will Shakespeare, a man who was not afraid to do what he wanted in life. Its 400 years since the Bards death in provincial Stratford where he was born. This very different, highly readable, biography will immerse you in Renaissance times and tell you about the human being, Will, who was married at 18, a father at 19, and, ten years later, a successful playwright in London with a string of hits, as well as an actor-manager with his own theatre. He wasnt from the upper classes, nor did he go to university, both prerequisites for fame and fortune in those days. No job like his had existed before. He was born at exactly the right time with a unique skill-set and the drive to employ his talents. His fame shows no sign of ever diminishing.
