"Anne Feversham" by J. C. Snaith is a historical fiction book taking place in the era of William Shakespeare, featuring the playwright himself and Anne Feversham, a young lady of nobility. The story explores themes of love, social restrictions, and how choices impact lives, all set against a lively historical background. At the start, Shakespeare goes into a tailor's shop in Nottingham, setting a mood of worry about a young man being executed for plotting against the Queen. There, he unexpectedly meets the bold Anne Feversham, whose daring nature shines through her unconventional clothing. The story builds tension with Anne's initial dislike for actors and her father's strict beliefs, which clash with her growing respect for Shakespeare and her wish for freedom, hinting at complex relationships and exciting drama to come.
