"The Boy Who Would be Shakespeare" by Doug Stewart.When a young boy wishes to be twinkle in his father's eye, he'll do anything to get noticed. When his job as law clerk in his father's business fails to get notice, he cuts straight to the source of his father's read pride and enjoyment: Shakespeare. This boy's new friend just happens too have a secret treasure chest full to the brim, with Shakespeare's original poetry, Or is it really Shakespeare's authentic work?
I enjoyed the character of William Henry (the son) and how he was so determined to recreate works of Shakespeare, even if was forging the individual poetry. The prospects took weeks to months at a time, with calligraphy and writing that turned out quite beautiful. The ignorance of the father and his nature towards his son was unbelievable.
As for the boy, you'd think someone who had so much talent for forgery could become change his career altogether, but age of Shakespeare led to many limited career possibilities.
