Meet our village ghost Willy. She is grand-grant-grand (and a few more grands) daughter of William Shakespeare, niece of William Blake and a distant cousin of William Wordsworth (but not related to Willy Wonka who is a fictitious character). She might be related to a few other Williams that we don’t know of as she doesn’t like talking much.
She just likes to read or stare over your shoulder as you read some magical piece of literature. She might look like an alien in the picture but that is only because she is in her Halloween dress (which she is all year, she is a ghost after all). Also she will like you to know that if her eyes and nose look like W and V, that is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with the initials of our website.
