Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Elizabethan London is a dangerous place for a runaway boy, but when Pip rescues a bear from the cruelties of a fighting pit, he gains an unusual protector. As they are pursued by villains and given a helping hand by Shakespeare, this is an all-action, powerfully-realised historical adventure. Ages: 8-11yrs.

Publisher's description:

A fearless boy with a fierce friend Pip is a blacksmith's apprentice - but he longs to be a famous knife-fighter like his dead father. Alone in London, he meets great danger and two odd allies. One is hairy and hungry. The other is William Shakespeare.
