If you enjoy real-life mystery TV programs like Dateline, 20/20, or 48 hours, The Real-Life Mystery of Shakespeare's Lost Years should be on your reading list.

Most of us have heard or read about Queen Elizabeth I. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII. Her mother Anne Boleyn was beheaded for committing adultery.

Queen Elizabeth I lived during the time of William Shakespeare so it might not surprise you that a new book about Shakespeare also mentions Queen Elizabeth. It is titled “The Real-Life Mystery of Shakespeare’s Lost Years: Solving the mysteries, myths, and mistakes of William Shakespeare, and in the book, author, Robert Boog claims that Queen Elizabeth may have been raped.

“Shakespeare gives away the secret in Twelfth Night, one of his famous plays,” claims Boog, “Shakespeare had also penned the poem, The Rape of Lucrece. It is interesting to note that in an era where playwrights were routinely jailed, William Shakespeare was never once imprisoned. Did he use this knowledge as leverage against her?”

The Real-Life Mystery of Shakespeare's Lost Years blends clever observations, common sense, and a squirt of humor to paint an entirely different view of the man who wrote the works of William Shakespeare. It even explains WHY the plays and poems were written.

PRAISE FOR "THE REAL-LIFE MYSTERY OF SHAKESPEARE'S LOST YEARS"

"Pardon my zinger but hands down, this was the best non-fiction book I have read in a long time. You don’t even have to like Shakespeare to enjoy it."

“A relatively short book that packs a big punch. I liked its sense of humor. It’s inexpensive and at 150 pages it was a fast read. Agree or disagree, I found it insightful.”

“I personally found the subject matter captivating, especially as an English Literature student, but the author's tone and voice throughout were really the most engaging parts of the book alongside the key mystery of ‘who is/was William Shakespeare?”

“Very interesting. I must admit I was not expecting this book to make me smile or keep me engaged like it did. I couldn’t stop taking the mysterious journey. But I am glad I took up the challenge. It made me put on my detective hat and think about something I thought was a known fact.”

“I was curious about Shakespeare’s lost years but did not know anything about Anne Hathaway’s real name, or Lord Burghley. But everything is logically explained, and it solves the puzzle. I think all students should read it.”
