This book describes the history and heritage of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in the United Kingdom, through the medium of several walks within and around the town. Photographs and maps are included. A reasonable amount of detail concerning William Shakespeare's life, from cradle to grave, is also given as each walk progresses. The plays, poems and sonnets are listed and family connections mentioned where appropriate.

This book contains ten short fictional pieces of writing; they are loosely based on the author's imagination and memory and often include a dash of humour for good measure.
