Actor William Shaksper of Stratford had little education, never left England, and apparently owned no books. How could he have written the great plays and poetry attributed to him? Journalist Mark Anderson's biography offers tantalizing proof that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, courtier, spendthrift, scholar, traveler, soldier, scoundrel, and writer, was the real "Shakespeare".

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It is the best biography of the real man who was Shakespeare.
Who was your favorite character and why?
This is non-fiction, but Edward DeVere was a real person whose life story is that of Hamlet and whose knowledge, travel and experience allowed him to write the plays and the lyrical works, but whose personal, political and social status made it impossible for him to be recognized as the author. All other versions of Shakespeare are fictions based on wishful conjecture to support the unsupportable cash-cow myth that is Will of Stratford, who somehow became the mask or frontman for the Great Author whose identify is based on thousands of parallels and historical and political events.This is the best starting point for study of the authorship question.
What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?
He has a measured, appropriate voice for this story.
