Description
From acclaimed author and ardent bibliophile Stuart Kells comes an exploration of the quest to find the personal library of the world’s most famous author. The whereabouts of Shakespeare’s library—his personal collection of manuscripts, books, letters and miscellaneous papers—is a mystery that continues to compel and inspire bibliophiles around the world.
In Shakespeare’s Library, Kells follows the long line of bibliomaniacs who have tried, with mixed success, to trace Shakespeare’s library over centuries, creating a narrative as compelling as the best mystery fiction. Stuart Kells’s style is wonderfully erudite yet accessible, and he fills his books with charming anecdotes and historical detail about his bookish finds.
