paperback. In 1612, Shakespeare gave evidence at the Court of Requests in Westminster - it is the only occasion his spoken words are recorded.

This book focuses on this episode in Shakespeare's life. Num Pages: 400 pages, 1 x 16 pp b/w inset. BIC Classification: 2AB; BGL; DSGS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 130 x 26.
