Fourteen year-old Widge can write
shorthand and that is a very valuable
asset to the man who wants to steal
William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". In
those days there was only one copy of
the play script, and that was jealously
guarded. Widge sets off for London,
accompanied by Falconer, a cruel and
fearsome cutthroat whose job is to
make sure that the mission is
accomplished, no matter what the cost.
But Widge gets so caught up in the play
that soon all that matters to him is
whether Hamlet will take action to
avenge his father, and he forgets his
task. Then his notebook is stolen. Under
threat from Falconer, he manages to
work his way into the troupe of actors,
who befriend him and, for the first time,
make him feel part of a family. How can
he betray them now?

When Samuel discovers the Globe
Theatre, he longs to work for the
greatest writer in England, and when he
cheekily tries to act, Master
Shakespeare decides to employ him.
One by one, Samuel plays
Cobweb...then the grandson of
Coriolanus...then a young Roman boy in
Julius Caesar, but Master Shakespeare
says he is still not ready to play the part
he wants most: Juliet. Then one day,
Sam gets a lucky break. But has he got
what it takes to be one of the finest
players in all England...?
Road to London
Thomas is desperate to join 'the

home and make his way to London.
Here he meets his hero, Shakespeare,
and his players. But behind the
excitement of the theatres is a grimy
world of deception, poison and treason.
Will Thomas manage to uncover the
plot in time? And will he manage to
save Shakespeare from a fate worse
than death?
