In this entirely satisfying sequel to The Shakespeare Stealer, loyalty, trust, and respect once again play a significant role as orphan Widge, now an actor, finds himself torn between his newfound family--the Lord Chamberlain's Men--and a man claiming to be his father. The engaging novel contains an informative author's note that carefully separates fact from fiction.
