A hilarious retelling of King Lear from the Fool's perspective

3 editions

Not as Foolish as you might think

I heartily enjoyed this book. Fools, Drools, Kings, would be kings and queens, bastards and even washer wenches. Very entertaining. I don't know the story of Shakespeare's King Lear, don't think that took any enjoyment away.
