On The Road is the fourth in a series of stories about a Tudor street urchin called Brat. After a chance meeting with the famous playwright, William Shakespeare on London Bridge, who is in the depths of despair at the loss of his son, Hamnet, the two embark on a path together. Brat finds himself becoming a cross between a servant, an apprentice and a replacement for the son William has so recently and tragically lost.

Tudor London life is seen through the eyes of Brat, who, having lived most of his life on the streets of the city, has no expectations but a constant fascination for everything going on around him.

In this fourth story, On The Road, London finds itself in the grip of the plague and Shakespeare, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, Brat and his friend, Thomas Thatcher, head north to Stratford-Upon-Avon - where Thomas falls secretly in love with Shakespeare's daughter, Judith! Shakespeare, unaware, helps to coach him in wooing her! On their way north they stay in Oxford where Brat is mortified to accidentally kill a swan and while on the forest path, they are accosted by a bunch of rather inept highway robbers who they manage to repel! They enjoy time in Stratford-Upon-Avon with Anne, Shakespeare's wife and their daughters Susannah and Judith. They visit Warwick, where the Queen is in residence, giving them the opportunity to see a joust and for a royal performance to be given of one of Shakespeare's plays. There is also a poignant final meeting between Queen Elizabeth and Brat.

In the stories I have highlighted all quotes occurring in the dialogue between characters that appear in Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, and have created a glossary at the end of each story, indicating which Shakespearean character spoke the words and in which play, act and scene they can be found.

Brat is an engaging personality with a social conscience - he thinks women should act their own parts on stage and that animal rights should be taken far more seriously!
