Summary of the Book Books are the best time machines. They make us travel to different points in time and discover all those events that occurred and let us talk to all those minds that chronicled whatever they could. Shakespeare’s Restless World is one such exploration of the time period of Shakespeare, the uncertain times of the Elizabethan era and the astonishing tales behind twenty objects, all of which take us to a faraway land and time which still are eerily familiar to us, through writing, poetry, and words.
