We have just posted another tale in the
Squirrel Chronicles, this is
Lady Isabella Squirrel and the Bard. It is a tale about a Lady in Waiting Squirrel to Queen Elizabeth I in the year 1599 when the Earl of Essex was to have quieted Ireland and instead returned to London to stir up a revolt against the ailing Queen. Enlisting Shakespeare to write three plays,
Henry V, Julius Caesar and
Hamlet, the Queen, with the astute help of Lady Isabella, works with Shakespeare to form these plays to propagandize their Royal views to the people and thus defeat Essex. Politics then and now.
