Publisher's Synopsis
William Shakespeare wrote some of the most famous plays in history, but there is plenty of misinformation about his life and times. This book dives into those so-called "facts" and discovers what's real and what's fake with entertaining ease. Did Shakespeare really burn down the Globe Theatre? Did he write all of his plays on his own? Brilliant fact boxes help provide historical context to Shakespeare's life and works, while "The Bard's Best Bits" add Shakespeare quotes and phrases we still use in everyday life to this day.
