It’s much ado about Bard’s missing years

Leslie Rocker’s Shakespeare novel is available via Amazon
Writer Leslie Rocker, 85, is making the most of the latest technology by releasing his new novel, Tiger’s Heart – Shakespeare’s Lost Years, on Kindle through Amazon.
In the story Mr Rocker, of Ridgeway Court, Warminster, looks at how the Bard spent the years between leaving his home in Stratford-upon-Avon and finding fame at the Globe.
While there are many theories about how he spent his ‘lost years’, the book suggests solutions in a fictional form using characters that may have influenced his literary output.
Mr Rocker dismisses speculation that the works ascribed to Shakespeare were written by another.
Mr Rocker, a former journalist, professional actor and stage manager, said: “It involved a lot of research, but it’s a really interesting story and something I’m very passionate about.”
