Description
Walk with William Shakespeare through his world, enjoying his plays, poetry and scenes from his life. Visit his home in Stratford and walk in the surrounding countryside he knew and loved. Roam the Cotswold hills where he probably taught school, and discover how he learned courtly ways as we visit the Earl of Southampton's mansion near Titchfield in Hampshire. Explore London, the scene of his greatest triumphs. Maps and full directions for the walks are included along with fascinating forays into Shakespeare's life for the armchair traveller!
Reviews / Votes
"This guide is not too topographical, nor too literary nor too historical, but a nicely balanced tripod of them all. It calls up your warmest, perhaps sometimes most moving, recollections of the Works and...the places. It is a businesslike work, and that is why it works so well." -- Stratford Herald, May 2005.More details
