great books

I love all your John Shakespear series . U had to read the reat on Kindle I hope They will be coming to Audible soon

Excellent story.

A great story and good to see the origins of John Shakespeare! The villainous Mr Topcliffe, (who existed in real life), is as good a villain as any that Dickens has portrayed.
