The Last Bard
Maz Evans
Extract
None of us knows where we are in our story. Today might be the start of a new tale, the end of one already told, or simply another chapter along its way. Our stories are often comedies, occasionally tragedies, many are histories and most are all three. Maybe we’ll have to fight the monsters beyond. Or perhaps we must battle the beast within. We can never know how our stories will end, or even if they’ve already begun.
About the book
While clearing out his late grandfather’s flat, Will Davenant discovers a surprising copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare. When he opens the book, a group of characters tumble out: the murderous Lady Macbeth, Juliet without Romeo, a mumbling skull, and a fairy called Puck. Will is the last descendant of the legendary bard, William Shakespeare, and he’s accidentally summoned them to help with some neighbourly troubles. Comedy, tragedy, history: Will’s world has it all . . .
