Produktbeschreibung

"That is true," said Ward. "And they do do you, my beloved William. It's a wonder to me you are not dizzy turning over in your grave the way they do you."

Everyone who has ever died has had to cross the River Styx in the underworld. But even after death, men will be men. On the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth, some put a houseboat on the river Styx to be an exclusive men's club.

But their club may not be as stuffy and quiet as the ones found on the mortal plane. No one can stop teasing Shakespear regarding the authorship of his plays. They wonder if Adam ever had a tail. And, of course, no women are allowed.
