You've probably heard of a few writers...- William Shakespeare and his popular plays - Jane Austen and her love stories - Charles Dickens and his big blockbusters But have you heard that...- William Shakespeare got mixed up in a plot against the Queen? - Jane Austen nearly became a Bigg-Wither? - Charles Dickens had his clothes ripped off by his fans? Yes, even when they're dead writers are still full of surprises - and the eight in this book are more surprising than most. Now you can get the inside story from their secret diaries, flick through Good Day magazine for some nineteenth-century gossip, and find out all about the writers whose tall tales have changed the world.
