Why read it?
1 author picked Shakespeare's Rebel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this swashbuckling tale of Shakespeare’s fight master because it took me back to Elizabethan England and right on to the stage at The Globe theater. There’s plenty of action and intrigue (the main character’s not only an actor and fight master but a spy!) that inspired me when I was writing the action scenes in my book. The author fills the pages with an impressive amount of historical detail while maintaining a brisk, page-turning pace.
From Carol's list on when you’re in the mood for a spot of Shakespeare.
