In honor of Nelson Mandela’s 94th birthday: a story about a book, known as the Robben Island Bible.
Prisoners weren’t allowed to have reading material — one prisoner was finally allowed one book. The only thing he could think of that would keep him going in prison was Shakespeare’s Complete Works. So that’s what he got — and he circulated it secretly in the prison. Prisoners signed their favorite passages.
