Summary: "Master Skylark: A Story of Shakspere’s Time" by John Bennett is a historical novel set during the time of William Shakespeare, specifically in the late 16th century. The story follows Nicholas "Nick" Attwood, a youthful and passionate boy who dreams of a life on the stage, aspiring to break free from the mundane existence dictated by his father's tannery business. The narrative intertwines themes of ambition, adventure, and the allure of the theatrical world, as Nick gets entangled with the famous Lord High Admiral's players. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to an excited Stratford-on-Avon, buzzing with anticipation for the arrival of the Lord High Admiral's players who are set to perform a play in town. Nick, along with his friends, eagerly awaits the event, which symbolizes the bright allure of theatre against a backdrop of parental discontent and societal norms. However, he faces the sternness of his father, who represents tradition and manual labor in stark contrast to Nick's burgeoning aspirations for a more creative life. This opening section sets the stage for Nick's adventurous journey, foreshadowing his encounters with performers, the challenges he will face, and his longing to carve out his identity amidst the pressures of his family and society.
