Review: Ah, the cover of “Year of the Fat Knight: The Falstaff Diaries.” What a jolly fellow! This cover promises a delightful romp through the life of one of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters, Falstaff. The jovial expression, the hearty laugh, and that ubiquitous tankard of ale—”Get ready for some merriment and mischief!” The author, Antony Sher, seems to be channeling the spirit of Falstaff himself, inviting readers into a world of humor and, undoubtedly, some moral lessons wrapped in comedy.

Rating: ★★★★☆ Summary: The cover does an excellent job of setting the stage for a book that delves into the life and times of Falstaff. With Antony Sher’s name prominently displayed, it’s clear this is a work by someone with a deep connection to the character, likely promising both entertainment and insightful reflections.
