    Description

    Includes a vintage map & guide for Shakespeare’s Britain, showing England, Wales & Scotland in Shakespeare’s time, which roughly corresponds to the Elizabethan Age of the late 16th Century and the reign (from National Geographic, 1964); and a pictorial guide, titled “The Shakespeare Book”, covering Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s hometown (which has built an extensive tourist industry around The Bard and his wife, Anne Hathaway), Shakespeare as an actor & playwright in London, his retirement & death back in Stratford, and his growing fame as one of the greatest writers of the English language (from Levi Fox/Jarrold and Sons Limited, circa 1960).
