Marcia Williams
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Marcia has written and illustrated numerous books since The First Christmas was published in 1987. Many of these have been retellings of classic stories - from Noah's Ark to Don Quixote - illustrated in her distinctive strip-cartoon style. She works in watercolours, which, she says, "are just unreliable enough to be interesting." She has retold several of Shakespeare's plays and taken to the boards herself to play the Bard in a production based on her books, Mr William Shakespeare's Plays and Bravo, Mr William Shakespeare! - culminating in a performance in Stratford-upon-Avon.
