Told in five fascinating Acts, SHAKESPEARE ON TOAST sweeps the cobwebs from the Bard - from his language, his life, his time - revealing both the man and his work to be relevant, accessible and full of beans. This is a book for everyone, whether you're reading Shakespeare for the first time, occasionally find him troublesome, and think you know him backwards, or have never set foot near one of his plays but have always wanted to . . . It's quick, easy and good for you. Just like beans on toast.
