Loki meets Horrible Histories in Stratford-upon-Avon starring history’s favourite genius, a young Will Shakespeare.

My name is Will Shakespeare and I SHOULD be . . .
- Cleaning out the enormous pile of POO in our privy
- Collecting the CHRISTMAS PIE from the butcher's

But I'm REALLY ...
- Solving the MYSTERY of Henry VIII's stolen STINKY toenail clippings
- Trying to get Ronaldo and Judy back together, because Ronaldo keeps crying like a baby
- Hiding from my parents because of the poo (see above) and I may have lost the pie.

I'm in a turnip-load of TROUBLE ...

‘I love this book’ Louie Stowell, author of Loki

'Fizzes with mischief and wit!’ Clare Harlow, Author of the Tidemagic series


Hilariously illustrated throughout by debut talent, Sammy Elgie.

Kaz Penney (Author)
Kaz Penney is the co-author of seven novels for young adults, including the House of Shadows and Throne of Swans duologies, which she wrote with her sister as Katharine Corr. The Will Shakespeare Mysteries series is her middle grade debut. Kaz loves Jane Austen, cosy crime and all things mythological and mysterious, and lives in Surrey with her husband, daughters and cats.

Sammy Elgie (Illustrator)
Sammy Elgie is a self-taught British illustrator living in south-west London. After a brief time at Central Saint Martins, she took a 20-year break from drawing. It wasn’t until she became a mum and rediscovered the magic of children’s books that she picked up her pencil again, determined to pursue her lifelong dream of illustrating for young readers.
Her debut as a children’s book illustrator, The Will Shakespeare Mysteries, marks the beginning of that dream becoming reality, and she couldn’t be more excited.
