Biographers assume they originated from a youth in the countryside around Stratford-on-Avon. Yet relatively few Shakespeare works are set in the settled English midlands. More are set in wild places: a French forest in As You Like It, British heaths and moors in Macbeth and King Lear, a Balkan seacoast in The Winter's Tale, a Mediterranean desert island in The Tempest.Shakespeare's evocations of these places are brief, as befits play scripts, but they are vivid and they often contain precise details about natural features as well as original, surprisingly modern, thoughts about the man-nature relationship.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In her enthralling debut, Gilly Macmillan explores a mother's search for her missing son, weaving a taut psychological thriller as gripping and skillful as The Girl on the Train and The Guilty One. In a heartbeat, everything changes. Rachel Jenner is walking in a Bristol park with her eight-year-old son, Ben, when he asks if he can run ahead. It's an ordinary request on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, and Rachel has no reason to worry--until Ben vanishes.   Police are called, search parties go out, and Rachel, already insecure after her recent divorce, feels herself coming undone.
