Description: When Jane Sutcliffe sets out to write a book about William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, in her own words, she runs into a problem: Will s words keep popping up all over the place! What s an author to do? After all, Will is responsible for such familiar phrases as  what s done is done  and  too much of a good thing.  He even helped turn  household words  into household words. But, Jane embraces her dilemma, writing about Shakespeare, his plays, and his famous phrases with glee. After all, what better words are there to use to write about the greatest writer in the English language than his very own? As readers will discover,  the long and the short of it  is this: Will changed the English language forever.
