What is Shakespeare on Toast: Getting a Taste for the Bard about?

Who's afraid of William Shakespeare? Just about everyone. He wrote too much and what he did write is inacessible and elitist. Right? Wrong. Ben Crystal, the 'Jamie Oliver of Shakespeare' (BBD Radio 5), sweeps the cobwebs from the Bard and finds Shakespeare's own voice amid the poetry, revealing both the man and his work to be relevant, accessible and full of beans. 'Ben Crystal's witty and engaging book is a relaxed, user-friendly reminder that enjoying Shakespeare should be as easy as breathing.' Domini Dromgoole, Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe. Review 'This is a brilliantly enjoyable, light-hearted look at Shakespeare which dispels the myths and makes him accessible to all. I love it!'
