Colin Salter is a former theatrical production manager, now a prolific author of literary history. In the course of fifteen years he worked on well over a hundred plays including, of course, many by William Shakespeare. For Batsford he has written 100 Books that Changed the World and 100 Children’s Books that Inspire Our World. He is the author of a biography of Mark Twain and is currently working on a history of the books in one family’s three-hundred-year-old library. He delights in the richness of language, whether William Shakespeare’s or PG Wodehouse’s. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife, dog and bicycle.
