TIMOTHY KNAPMANstudied at Oxford University and has written plays, musicals, songs and children's books. His books include the successful Mungo, Eleanor's Eyebrows and the Picture Book Pirates and its sequels. His work has been translated into 12 languages and have been read on the BBC's CBeebies Bedtime Stories.
What sets these adaptations apart from other recent attempts is Knapman's ability to capture small but significant moments of emotional connection between characters, such as Viola's empathy with Olivia upon discovering that they have both lost a brother or Horatio's concern over Hamlet's depression.
