Illustrated by
Thomas Cox.
Cutpurse-turned-carpenter Kit, striving to find his place in the world, works as a stage boy, messenger, and even bit player with the Lord Chamberlain's Men (the theater troupe home to Will Shakespeare et al.). His journey from lost boy to young man with a future is as satisfying as the detailed portrait of place and time in this accessible, you-are-there Elizabethan saga.
