Pickpocketing London sets the scene, that's where you can see a dream. Stories play in disguise; crowds cheer on dramatic cries. Words became one man's game, soon to be a household name. Juggling meanings, he'd sort them out, listening to people talk and shout. When a theater opened up, they'd grab a snack and fill their cup. Most desired tricks and mirth, and they got their money's worth. But who was this creative man, telling tales by ink and hand?
Who am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer.
I gave you a clue!

Well I was thinking of Shakespeare until I saw the picture but that seems much earlier than his time. More Merlin. So I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteSorry, no idea.
ReplyDeleteCharles Dickens
ReplyDeleteNuts! I shoulda looked at the picture. It was the pickpocketing that made me think Dickens, but how could it not be Shakespeare?
DeleteThe picture must be from A Midsummer Night’s dream (mustn’t it?)so most definitely Shakespeare
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Shakespeare. Happy Monday!
