A lightweight piece of fluff, unless I've missed some deeper meaning. Fun enough, once I got into it, which mostly means understanding what the authors are going to do: a mixture of court and theatre, repartee and slapstick. I suspect that if I had any historical knowledge of the period I'd discover that the book was full of deliberate anachronisms. Example: Raleigh and his Feast of the First Eating of the Potato. Kind of like Down with Skool, a bit.Goodreads. The copy I have is old and battered; the black cover has the title written on the spine in gold pen. Probably, it comes from Mfd+J.
