COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great submitted by ssands on July 14, 2022, 4:31pm Shakespeare! Time Travel! Puck! Mysterious manipulation of history! I learned a few things about the past and have gained some appreciation of the family-like dynamics of some theater groups, however the most important thing about this book was the great story. (It does have some parts that might be too much for younger readers -- bear-baiting, suicide.)

ETA: This would be a good companion book to "The Jane Austen Project"
