Bestselling author Bill Bryson presents this fascinating short biography of William Shakespeare, our greatest playwright and poet. Exploring centuries of myths, half-truths and outright lies, Bill Bryson understands the man behind the masterpieces. Leading us through the crowded streets of Elizabethan England, he brings to life the places and characters that inspired Shakespeare to create works. Along the way, he admires the inventiveness of Shakespeare’s language, which gave us so many irreplaceable words and phrases that we use today, and celebrates the Bard’s legacy in our literature, culture and history.
