"Marcia Williams performs a brilliant encore...clear explanations, witty asides and dramatic devices... This is the perfect present for anyone who has ever been baffled by the Bard." Junior Education "Detailed artwork, terrific design, great stories - what more could a reluctant reader want?" The Daily Telegraph on Mr. William Shakespeare's Plays

Marcia Williams' distinctive style developed through the illustrated letters she sent from boarding school to her parents overseas. It was motherhood, though, and a period spent later as a nursery school teacher that inspired her to produce books for children. She is now the author/illustrator of several popular picture books, including the retellings The Amazing Story of Noah's Ark; Jonah and the Whale; Joseph and His Magnificent Coat of Many Colours; Greek Myths; Don Quixote; Sinbad the Sailor; The Adventures of Robin Hood; King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and The Iliad and the Odyssey, as well as her own texts When I Was Little, No Worries and of course, Mr. William Shakespeare's Plays.
