About this ebook

William Shakespeare is viewed today as the quintessential English writer who has continued to influence art, poetry, philosophy and even science for over four centuries. His graphic imagery of Venice, Padua and Verona carefully braided with poignant tragic wreckages of real life circumstances, shrewdly infused with the ancient Kabbalah and transcendent Platonism was nothing short of genius. That is, if he ever put pen to paper! These chronicles reveal documentary evidence to confirm who really penned the Shakespearean canon. For centuries these works have been accoladed as the very basis of English literature, yet the author might not have been English at all! Amidst the mischief, mayhem and murder, these chronicles answer all the questions, including one of the greatest discoveries of all time - who owned the finest collection of Venetian, Italian and Byzantinian jewellery in the world - The Cheapside Hoard.

About the author

After graduating in building in 1991, Peter went on to study history, philosophy and management, completing a Doctorate Degree of Philosophy in 2001. He worked until the age of 45 as a builder to put food on the dinner table, while funding his studies and various research projects, whereby he was awarded numerous Queensland Master Builder's Awards for excellence. Although he had penned two books by this time and a number of research projects underway, he turned to his passion of writing after a frightening cardiac arrest in 2011. One of his major research projects of ten years culminated into the production of one of the most fascinating books of all time, titled Shakespeare Exhumed: The Bassano Chronicles published by Bassano Publishing House. Peter is continuing his research. Look out for more fascinating books shortly.
