Strange but true: our little market town has one of only four publicly displayed Shakespeare first folios. Though they've had it for many years they have only recentl got the funds to deal with the delicate task of displaying it. Our local museum, Craven Museum, has put up some film about it after Sir Patrick Stewart visited Skipton's Shakespeare First Folio last week and I thought you'd like to see:

You never know where Shakespeare is going to turn up.
