I amuse me!

[fabrisse]

Two Yuletides ago, I wrote A Cold Spring Evening in Southwark. In it, I had Shakespeare claiming to have co-written Arden of Fabersham one of the long disputed plays. Now, in fairness, I had him co-write it with Kit Marlowe, but I'm still chuckling gleefully over an Observer article which says Arden of Faversham will be included in a new book co-edited by the The Royal Shakespeare Company as a collaboration between Shakespeare and Thomas Kyd.

So, the one disputed play I have long thought to be a Shakespeare play (I read Arden when I was in college), is being considered -- all right, only by some people and in a really limited sense -- part of canon. I am vindicated! *giggle*
