Stealing Shakespeare

(1 x 60 - HD)

In 1998, a copy of the most important printed work in the English language was snatched from Durham University. Ten years later, an eccentric book dealer tried to convince the world that he didn’t steal it.

This is the inside story of how one man’s encounter with a First Folio turned into a drama of Shakespearean proportions.
