Oregon: historically known for covered wagons, giant timber, and awesome Shakespeare.
Yes, Shakespeare.
Ashland, Oregon, is home of
one of the oldest and most well-respected Shakespeare Festivals in the country. Which means when you do a chat on local NPR about your Shakespeare-themed novel, you better know your stuff. Or rather, his stuff.
Give a listen and see what you think.
And if you happen to attend the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, stop into the
Tudor Guild bookshop, they have some very sweet items, made here in the Pacific Northwest.
