Hamnet
1 journaler for this copy...
Forgot to journal this book. I absolutely loved it, so much so I can't part with it just yet. I may want to read it again some time. It's a fictional story about Shakespeare's marriage to Agnes and focusses mainly on their son Hamnet.
And what is known, from inside the front cover:
"In the 1580s, a couple living in Henley Street, Stratford, had three children: Susanna, then Hamnet & Judith, who were twins. The boy, Hamnet, died in 1596, aged eleven. Four years or so later, the father wrote a play called Hamlet. Hamnet and Hamlet are in fact the same name, entirely interchangeable in Stratford records in the late sixteenth and early seventeenths centuries."
