Summary: "Shakespeare, for most people, is something that is 'done' at school. But behind the name there is a real person, and, believe it or not, he wasn't always a balding man in a ruff. He was Mr and Mrs Shakespeare's boy, Will, who grew up to make quite a name tor himself, How did he do it? Where did he work? Why did he write, and how? Was he a nice person? What sort of friends did he have? This book doesn't promise neat answers to all those questions--that's often just not possible, as you'll see--but it's going to have a go at answering some of them. It will try to take a look at Shakespeare's work from Shakespeare's point of view."--from Introduction, pages 7-8.
