Shakespeare for Squirrels audiobook – Fool, Book 3

In the tranquil gardens of a secluded park, I found myself captivated by the final installment of the Shakespeare for Squirrels audiobook, written by Christopher Moore and narrated by Euan Morton. As the sunlight filtered through the trees, I immersed myself in the world of Pocket, a witty fool who has faced countless challenges and villains in his previous adventures.

In this concluding chapter, Pocket arrives in Greece, hoping to find employment after his encounters with pirates. Instead of serving the Duke’s minister, he offers his much-needed advice. Egeus, a traditionalist father, holds outdated beliefs about his daughter’s marriage and is determined to marry her off against her wishes.

Amidst this turmoil, Pocket finds himself in a precarious situation, as he accidentally becomes entangled in the Duke’s affairs. With the Duke’s forces closing in on him, Pocket seeks refuge with Oberon, the king who is mourning the loss of his favorite clown. Oberon hires Pocket to solve the mystery behind the crime, offering him the only means of saving his own life.

As Pocket delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers a multitude of suspects, each with their own motives. With the voice of Euan Morton guiding me through the twists and turns of the plot, I was on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting the resolution.

Moore’s masterful storytelling combined with Morton’s engaging narration brought the tale to life, transporting me to a world of laughter, intrigue, and clever wordplay. The finale of Shakespeare for Squirrels exceeded my expectations, with Pocket’s final trick leaving me in awe.
