À propos de cet audio
In 1624 London, a brave printer is executed, a portly poet is kidnapped, a Stratford-upon-Avon grave is emptied, King James is put into a panic, many swashes are buckled, and things are never as they seem, all because brave Nicholas and clever Valentina are about to discover and reveal the true identity of William Shakespeare.
This is a timely tale that touches on the powerful love of fathers, the perils of the plague, the joys of turnips, and the mysterious life and tragic death of the Bard of Avon. It is a (mostly) true story filled with suspense and humor.

"Roll over, Harry Potter! The Starre, the Moone, the Sunne has all the mystery and suspense of Harry Potter and even more substance, with literary sleuths in a romp up and down and all around the Elizabethan-Shakespearean matrix. Ron Destro’s narrator is endowed with consistently ingenious dialect, and Derek Jacobi has a field day in the audiobook exercising his sublime elocutions on the clever word bending...a laugh riot.” (William Niederkorn, The New York Times)
“It’s rare to find an historical novel of the seventeenth century that is so vibrant, so Shakespearean in its storytelling, language and humor—one that feels authentic, yet utterly accessible—as The Starre, The Moone, The Sunne. It’s even rarer that the audiobook's reader, Sir Derek Jacobi, is not so much narrating the story as offering a full blown comedic-dramatic performance, sending author Ron Destro’s delightful characters and breakneck plot exploding from the earphones. It is a match made in Heaven.” (Robin Maxwell, best-selling author of The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn)
“When one of the world’s leading Shakespeare scholars and teachers pens a novel about who truly conceived and crafted the entire Shakespearean canon, we mere mortals would be well advised to pay heed. When such an astonishingly original tale turns out to be marvelously amusing, deeply passionate, and brilliantly entertaining, then it demands to be read by all. What Ron Destro has gifted the world in The Starre, The Moone, The Sunne is nothing less than the stuff that dreams are made on.” (Steve Cuden, co-creator of Jekyll & Hyde, The Musical)
