About Andrew Muir
Born in Cowdenbeath, Fife, Scotland in 1958, Andrew grew up near Glasgow. He graduated from university, at twenty, after a four year Honours course. The final two years were spent solely reading literature, with Shakespeare a full paper in his own right. Inevitably, Shakespeare's work has remained an abiding interest ever since.
