Tales From The Rook

No Ghosts. A Dance Number. Popcorn. Shakespeare Was Never Like This.In the riotous Court of Fools, Bill Makepeace-the famed bard of Blackheap Street-finds himself in a most theatrical pickle. His beloved theatre has burned to the ground, the funds to rebuild are nowhere in sight, and lurking in the wings is none other than Obadiah Dregmoor: cockle-seller kingpin and aspiring mollusc-based snacks baron, eager to secure a slice of any future takings.Makepeace is at a loss... until, from the ashes of his former stage, a new opportunity begins to pop. Quite literally. For this is the age-not of reason, not of enlightenment-but of the corn that pops.Witty, whimsical, and illustrated throughout, Tales From The Rook: Just As You Like It: Or, If You Really Must (A Comedie) launches a new series set in the richly imagined world of The Rook. Expect daggers, doublets, dodgy deals, and more nods to Shakespeare than you can shake a quill at.
