About the author

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon. His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Kellie Jones studied Writing for Young People in England, Publishing in Scotland and Japanese in Japan. A fan of anime and Asian dramas, the busier Kellie is, the more likely she will embark on an epic 50+ episode series whose subtitles leave no room for multitasking. After bookselling in Australia, Kellie is now a children's book writer, editor and proofreader at large.
