Introduction
1599. Simpler times. When a girl could meet a hansome boy, fall in love with him, get kicked out of her house, whack on a false beard, flee to the magical forest of Arden, bump into the boy again, find out he's madly in love with her enough to plaster the whole forest with chuck-making love poetry - but not enough to recognise her under a hastily whacked-on false beard, mess up the lives of some shepherds, pretend to the boy that loves her madly that she's a boy pretending to be her girl self as a barking madwoman in order to cure him of the madness of being in love with her.....well, you get the idea.
