Synopsis: This book recaptures the magical moments of the life of the great poet William Shakespeare. Beginning with an introduction to Mary Shakespeare, his beloved mother, the book goes on to narrate his passion for writing and his growing need to break free from the life of a merchant. William leaves his wife, Anne Shakespeare and their son, to seek fame and fortune in the city. However, though he does find happiness in poetry, his heart longs for love. Shattered by the death of their only son, Anne no longer remains the same and William falls in love with the wife of a merchant who bears him a son. As the book progresses, it interlinks the Bard's plays with his real life and paints a rare portrait of the man that the world would, in the years to come, remember and praise forever in time.
