Nearly all of the information we have of William Shakespeare, from the town of Stratford Upon Avon, shows that he was most likely illiterate. Thus, this book was written with the question 'could the penname be a joke that he has played on all of us, by publishing the greatest written works of mankind in the name of an uneducated fool?' The author merely looked for uses of the name William, within Shakespeare's million words, and found only one---an uneducated fool in the play, As You Like It. This book showcases the author's discovery in a curt and hilarous fashion, which pokes fun at the very professors who refuse to acknowledge that there is even an authorship question. When you finally understand who the real writer is and the prank he has played on the world, you'll be in on the joke and will no longer be one of the fools. Sadly, the professors who refuse to look into the question will be the last ones to get it.
