Book Excerpt:

He lived five or six years—till 1616—in the joy of these elevated pursuits.  Then he made a will, and signed each of its three pages with his name.

I loved recording this book, and was flattered to read Kevin McDonnell's review in The Mark Twain Forum; here's an excerpt: "(Henzel) maintains a mild but steady Twain presence, with a soft drawl, appropriate pauses and phrasings, and pleasant modulations. He moves the text along in a convincing fir

For such a little book, Twain's rambling, sometimes funny but largely redundant trolling of the "thugs", "troglodytes", "bandoleers and buccaneers" who believe Stratford's William Shakespeare actually wrote Shakespeare's plays, does go on a bit.

He rests his argument (if you can really call it that)

We have all heard of doubts and arguments that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the plays attributed to him, but it was only on reading this book that I realised that those doubts surfaced as far back as the 1850’s.

Here we have Mark Twain’s own theories which are well expounded in an
