About the Author

Michael Rosen is an award-winning author and anthologist of books for young readers including Classic Poetry: An Illustrated Collection, illustrated by Paul Howard. A lifelong Shakespeare fan, Michael Rosen says of this book, "When I was a kid, I was often taken to see Shakespeare's plays, and my parents helped me to get hold of what was special about Shakespeare. I've written this book in hopes that I can do something along the lines of what my parents did for me."

Robert Ingpen was born in Australia in 1936 and has published more than one hundred acclaimed books. In 1986 he was awarded the highest international accolade for his work, the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration.
