“After I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society I became interested in the lives of Charles and Mary Lamb. As a child I had read their prose versions of Shakespeare stories. This is a short work of fiction that incorporates the brother and sister into a mystery of sorts. A poem, a play and other papers are discovered in London. Are they the work of the immortal bard? I enjoyed the story with all its descriptions of London's bookshops and literary scene, though I guessed the truth too soon for my happiness.”
