"Thou shalt be free as mountain winds…’ It’s very windy today in Stockholm on this, the first day of November. A beautiful autumn day. I hope the weather is favouring you wherever you are, and that the month ahead is good to you.
Now,
as always, this promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book.
Indie authors like myself always need support, even now when book signings and
lectures can again be scheduled. Only on the Internet can I reach people like
you, who are interested in Shakespeare would like to have the blog in book
form, as well as support the Shakespeare Calling project. I do so hope you
will help me by ordering the book online. Thank you.

Shakespeare sightings:
- In the novel Silver Sparrow by
Tayari Jones, a dress is described as more for A Midsummer Night’s Dream
than Gone with the Wind.
- A review in Dagens Nyheter of Benjamin Britten’s opera A Midsummer Night’s Dream mostly tells the story but seems to like the production.
- A review in Dagens Nyheter of The Tempest, at Stadsteatern in Gothenburg, is enthusiastic over the multimedial production with video, music, dance, Internet, TV, 3D art and a noodle bar.
- Swedish actor Lil Terselius has died. She is known for her many roles, including Gertrude from Hamlet.
