About The Author
Charlie Connelly
Charlie Connelly is a bestselling author, award-winning broadcaster and popular public speaker. Three of his books have featured as Radio 4’s Book of the Week. He has written for most of the UK and Irish national newspapers and a range of magazines from The Oldie to Outdoor Fitness, as well as comedy scripts for BBC radio and RTÉ radio in Ireland and documentaries for BBC Radio 4 on subjects as diverse as the poetry of Noel Coward and the legendary cricket coach Alf Gover.
The audio version of his bestselling Attention All Shipping came second in a public vote to find the greatest audiobook of all time organised by Waterstone’s and the Guardian. Romeo and Juliet was third, which Charlie takes as official confirmation that he’s better than Shakespeare.
