The Last Bard (HB)

The bestselling author of Who Let the Gods Out is back with a brand new story packed full of humour and heart! Will Davenant has known more tragedy than laughter, but there's a new twist in his family story when he inherits his grandfather's Complete Works of Shakespeare- and the Bard's characters spring from its pages.
