The Man Born to be King - Dorothy Sayers When I added this to my TBR back in 2019, I don't think I realized that it was written as a play and not a book.

I should probably start this off by confessing that I've never read Shakespeare's Macbeth, nor have I ever seen a production of it. So there may well be references in Ava Reid's re-telling that I missed.
