The Lambs Of London by Peter Ackroyd
The novel is a historical fiction that intertwines the lives of the Lamb siblings, Charles and Mary, with that of antiquarian bookseller William Ireland, set against the backdrop of early 19th-century London. The story delves into the literary world of the time, exploring themes of forgery, obsession, and the desire for fame. As Ireland presents the discovery of previously unknown works by Shakespeare, the Lambs find themselves caught up in the excitement and controversy that ensues, leading to a blend of tragedy and farce that challenges the boundaries between truth and deception in the world of literature.
