Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare the Boy: With Sketches of the Home and School Life, the Games and Sports, the Manners, Customs and Folk-Lore of the Time
Two years ago, at the request of the editors of the Yout/z's Companion, I wrote for that periodical a series Of four familiar articles on the boyhood of Shakespeare. It was understood at the time that I might afterwards ex pand them into a book, and this plan is carried out in the present volume. The papers have been carefully revised and enlarged to thrice their original compass, and a new fifth chapter has been added.
