The Book of Will

William Shakespeares been dead for three years. His closest friends and fellow actors deeply miss him and his beautiful plays. When a pirated, badly botched Hamlet (To be or not to be, theres the point . . .) plays on a nearby stage, they realize Shakespeares lines are disappearing into the forgetful memory of time. What they need is a booka definitive copy of his original plays, but to make one, theyll have to battle an unscrupulous publisher, a boozy poet laureate and their own mortality. Lauren Gundersons look at Shakespeares First Folio is a lively, funny, poignant love letter to theatre and the printed word.
