The Lambs of London | Peter Ackroyd

1 post | 8 read | 8 to read

From the author of Chatterton and Shakespeare: A Biography comes a gripping novel set in London that re-imagines an infamous 19th-century Shakespeare forgery. Charles and Mary Lamb, who will in time achieve lasting fame as the authors of Tales from Shakespeare for Children, are still living at home, caring for their dotty and maddening parents. Reading Shakespeare is the siblings’ favorite reprieve, and they are delighted when an ambitious young bookseller comes into their lives claiming to possess a ‘lost’ Shakespearea play. Soon all of London is eagerly anticipating opening night of a star-studded production of the play not knowing that they have all been duped by charlatan and a fraud. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Lambs of London | Peter Ackroyd

pick

Pick, mostly
Late 18th century London: a bookseller claims to have discovered lost works by Shakespeare. Are these legit or are they forged?
Based on actual historical events (which I didn‘t realize until after I‘d read the book!)
Interesting, entertaining. Ending felt rushed, though.
