Speculative nonfiction (is that a thing??) is the only way I can think of to catagorize this book. That and "all kinds of fun!"

Mark Twain and Henry James and some other notable writers agree that Shakespeare did not write all of the plays attributed to him. We know that at least 10 plays that are attributed to him were written collaboratively.

Interesting ideas. https://www.facebook.com/1082882538/posts/10222132554637856/
