>>I definitely preferred it to the infamously awful Marlows and Their Maker, about which I complained to Ann and Clarissa as I was so disappointed. God, I wish I had - I suppose it wasn't A&C's faults, but glad to know it wasn't just me who was so disappointed, especially after such a long wait.
Despite having read the other books pretty much annually since childhood, I just can't seem to bring myself to even try the historicals. For a long time I thought it was the prices putting me off, but now they're easily available, I suppose I don't have that excuse any more. It just sounds a bit corny, the whole "and then they met Shakespeare" angle - like Forrest Gump or something. I really should give them a go.
