William Shakespeare

65 min

The Avon comes through Warwickshire without hurrying, and by the time it reaches Stratford it has given up hurrying altogether. This factual sleep story follows William Shakespeare from a baptism entry in the parish register through the years no paper accounts for, the penny yard of the London playhouses, the fire that took the Globe, and a burial in the chancel at Holy Trinity.
