Title: On the road with Shakespeare and Co.
Review: One of my all-time favorite childhood books, this is just as delightful a read for grown-us who still have the occasional daydream about running away, taking to the stage, or living in Elizabethan times--or all three! As is the case in nearly all of Sally Watson's historical novels, the protagonist has a significant character flaw--here, a vicious temper--that she learns to overcome, in the course of which she also manages to do some good and find chaste romance. Okay, it's a formula--but a formula that works, and is bedecked with lively prose, believable characters, and plenty of humor. FYI, a small publishing company has reissued this and other Watson novels in paperback, so there's no need to pay the exorbitant prices of the used-book sellers unless you're a collector.
