The strange-but-true tales of the rumors, idiosyncrasies, and feuds of literary legends--including Agatha Christie, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Shakespeare, and more

This fascinating--and shocking!--tour through the lives of classic literature icons is the perfect stocking stuffer for book lovers and fans of little-known history.

With outrageous and uncensored profiles of everyone from William Shakespeare to Thomas Pynchon, Secret Lives of Great Authors tackles all the tough questions your high school teachers were afraid to ask: What's the deal with Lewis Carroll and little girls? Is it true that J. D. Salinger drank his own urine? How many women--and men--did Lord Byron actually sleep with? And why was Ayn Rand such a big fan of Charlie's Angels? Classic literature was never this much fun in school!
