Will Shakespeare Mysteries: The Pearly Pants

Loki meets Horrible Histories, starring a young Will Shakespeare. A murderous, madcap mystery awaits Will at the Macdeaths' castle.

When my best friend Tybalt and I accidentally volunteered for the school archery trip to Scotland, I thought things couldn’t get any worse . . .

But now, a terrible crime has been committed at the Scottish castle and we have to find out:

Who are the three witches?

Is Gracious Dunkin still alive? And who stole his pants?

And what on earth is ‘death by thistle’?

I’m in a haggis load of trouble!
