King of Shadows
by Susan Cooper
Nat Field, an orphaned American actor, is taken ill during a performance and slips back in time to the Tudor era, where he finds himself acting alongside William Shakespeare in a secret performance for Queen Elizabeth I.
Cooper wonderfully creates the excitement of theatre, the charisma of Shakespeare, and the pain of bereavement.
