Description: Book Description An intimate history of Shakespeare, following him through a single year that changed not only his fortunes but the course of literature. How did Shakespeare go from being a talented poet and playwright to become one of the greatest writers who ever lived?

A Year in the Life

Description: It was Joe McEnroe bringing them homemade ice cream as they rebuilt a one-room schoolhouse in the heat of summer that created the After School Boys Club in Amenia, New York. After that project was complete the septa- and octo-genarians continued to meet weekly to ponder the present and reminisce about the past. When member Bill Burke bought a tattered 1915 farm journal at a yard sale, a glorious new project began. Identifying the author as Ed Dean was not difficult. Reading and discussing the journal sparked their own memories and led to long conversations about the farm work most Club members had known so well. Forays were made to explore every aspect of the vanished world captured by Dean - beekeeping, ice cutting, milking, stump-blasting, wood-cutting, apple-growing - and aspects of the community life he recorded - the Grange, baseball, blizzards, the movies, sleigh-rides, weddings, funerals. The more that Club members talked about farming and its dramatic transformation during… [detailed...]
