Books, Manuscripts
Why do we return to Shakespeare time and again? When Robert McCrum began his recovery from a life-changing stroke, described in 'My Year Off,' he discovered that the only words that made sense to him were snatches of Shakespeare. Unable to travel or move as he used to, McCrum found the First Folio became his 'book of life', an endless source of inspiration through which he could embark on 'journeys of the mind', and see a reflection of our own disrupted times.
