Her Majesty's Will

A Will & Kit Adventure

De: David Blixt

Narrado por: Aaron Lockman

Before he was famous, he was a fugitive. Before he wrote of humanity, he lived it. Before he was the Bard of Avon, he was a spy. A very poor spy.

England, 1586.

Swept up in the skirts of a mysterious stranger, Will Shakespeare becomes entangled in a deadly and hilarious misadventure as he accidentally uncovers the Babington Plot: an attempt to murder Queen Elizabeth herself.

Aided by the mercurial wit of Kit Marlowe, Will enters London for the first time, chased by rebels, spies, his own government, his past, and a bear. Through it all, he demonstrates his loyalty and genius, proving himself to be—her majesty's will.

Combining the whimsy of William Goldman's The Princess Bride with the swashbuckling panache of Raphael Sabatini, and inspired by the Hope/Crosby Road movies, this rollicking novel takes solace in knowing that these events surely never happened, while secretly hoping that they did.

A delightful distraction

A silly Shakespearean story that kept me quite entertained. A great COVID escape. Great narration - I’m sure I enjoyed this much more on audio than I would have reading it.

Great Comedic Fiction

This was my first experience with David Blixt's work and it was engaging and fun. David Blixt has written a creative story about Will Shakespeare and Kit Marlowe. He has written the story in such a way that it could be a play that was in production and presented during the time that Will Shakespeare was alive. It was fun, charming, and very appealing to the masses. I enjoyed and was entertained by this tale. Aaron Lockman's narration was exceptional and added to the story's entertainment. I enjoyed his performance, singing, and oration a great deal. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
