The, somewhat fictionalized?, account of the life of William Shakespeare. There's a little description from the authors on each page, but mostly it's narrated through what seems to be Shakespeare's journal entries or letters to his daughter Judith, although they also seem to be amended and compiled by the authors themselves. The wonderful illustrations make it easier to transport to his era more realistically. The book is also interactive in that each page is full of fold-outs and flaps of mostly synopsis of and excerpts from his works. Reading this book feels like being on an actual journey, and I enjoy every minute of it.

If you've ever seen Dragonology or Egyptology or Pirateology or ANY of the "Ology" books, that's what this book is like, except about Shakespeare, which makes it infinitely cooler than any of the other ones. They should have called it "Bardology".
