Cliffs Notes On Shakespeare's King Lear

Rate this book
In this tragic play, Lear, a ruler in pre-Christian Britain, is described as a "very foolish old man, fourscore and upward." Grossly misjudging his daughters, he endures a harrowing experience and emerges as a man "more sinned against than sinning."

I had to go back and brush up on my Shakespeare to find out how much of Christoper Moore's book "Fool" actually follows King Lear
