http://www.booksunderthebridge.com/2008/04/king-of-shadows-susan-cooper.html Interesting sounding book (story?) about a kid who travels to London for a chance to act in Dream, only to wake up 400 years ago in a production directed by Shakespeare himself.

I remember really liking this book. Admittedly, I’m a big fan of Susan Cooper in general.

Great story for ex-pats.
