Shakespeare<\/a>. The world as a stage. Bill Bryson<\/a>. 2007. ISBN 9780061673696.\u00a0 This completes my task\u00a0 to read everything Bill Bryson has written so far. A book on the life of Shakespeare is always going to be a small book, since so little was written down about him.\u00a0 Bryson does a good job of organising and relating what is known, what is surmised and what is made up about “The Bard”.\u00a0 This is a quick, easy\u00a0 read I enjoyed. Yet the book seemed to be missing much I could bite on – which is more likely due to the subject than the author.\u00a0\u00a0 I was intrigued by the whole story wrto debunking Francis Bacon<\/a> as WS with its genesis in the nutty thoughts of a US spinster, who seemed gifted at bending influential peoples ears and wills.<\/p>\n
