Shakespeare - His Birthplace and Its NeighbourhoodFirst published in 1861, "Shakespeare: His Birthplace and its Neighbourhood" contains a detailed history of the English town Stratford-upon-Avon and its surrounding areas by John R. Wise. John Richard de Capel Wise (1883 - 1890) was an English writer, journalist, and editor. Other notable works by this author include: "The First of May: A Fairy Masque" (1881), "The New Forest: its History and its Scenery" (1862), and "Robin Hood, and other poems" (1855). Contents include: "Introductory", "Stratford-upon-Avon-The House where Shakespeare was Born", "Stratford-The Parish Church", "The Grammar School-Chapel of the Guild-New Place", "The Chamberlain's Books, etc., of Stratford-Private Manuscripts in Stratford", Charlecote park", "Welcome to Snitterfield", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
