Dead Famous: Writers and their Tall Tales

Famous writers, eh? You’ve probably heard of a few. William Shakespeare and his prancing plays. Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales. Charles Dickens and his ghosts. But did you know that:

  • William Shakespeare stood trial accused of plotting against the Queen
  • Geoffrey Chaucer wrote lots of rude poems in oddly-spelt English
  • Charles Dickens had his clothes ripped off by his fans

Yes – even when they’re dead, writers are full of surprises!
