Title: The Spirit of Shakespeare: In Flesh and Blood
Review: Jim Sherwood is one of those rare beloved writers whose generosity leads the way and guides his pen on the page. It would take such a magnanimous, generous spirit to give bring Shakespeare alive, but that is what he does in "Shakespeare's Ghost," a work overflowing with Sherwood's unique ability to write from his heart. Here he brings us the amazing life of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, the true author of the Shakespeare works, in an historical mystery novel created with stunning clarity and seemingly effortless intensity. The pages keep turning by themselves as we read on and on, to keep pace with this important story. If you're looking for a deeply pleasurable way to learn about Edward de Vere, it's difficult to think of a better place to begin than right here. In a word, it's the voice -- the voice of James Sherwood, poet, novelist, literay magician. A great gift for the holidays!
