Author Biography

Angela McAllister took a degree in Humanities at Middlesex College and then began illustrating books. She has written over 30 books for children, some of which she has also illustrated. Alice Lindstrom originally studied Classics and Philosophy and then moved to Sydney to complete a Bachelor of Design at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). After working briefly as a theatre designer in Sydney, Alice returned to the University of Adelaide and completed a Masters of Museum Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Art History. Alice now lives in Melbourne, Australia and is an artist and freelance illustrator. She works primarily in paper collage, using traditional cut and paste techniques, painting and preparing paper beforehand, before cutting and assembling it on watercolour paper or board to create highly detailed, intricate and textured illustrations. A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories is her first children's book.
