HARVARD YARD by WILLIAM MARTIN
|
SummaryPicking up where his runaway bestseller Back Bay left off,
William Martin returns to Boston to bring the history of
Harvard University vividly to life.There are many Harvard
legends. One of the oldest is the tale of how John
Harvard's parents were brought together by none other than
William Shakespeare, who then gave them a gift of an
original manuscript upon the birth of their son. Now, Peter
Fallon, the Harvard historian introduced in Back Bay, teams
with other memorable characters from that novel and sets
out to find those priceless pages that were thought to have
been lost in the Harvard Hall fire of 1764. Mixing fact and
fiction, blending the past and present, this riveting
treasure hunt unveils the story of Harvard as it grows from
a one-room schoolhouse to America's most famous university.
