The Shakespeare Code

About the Author

Virginia Fellows and Owen's Cipher Wheel

Virginia Fellows was born in the tiny prairie town of Jordan Valley, Oregon, sixty miles from the closest railroad.

Her parents, easterners themselves, had heeded the popular call of their day to "Go west, young man." Later they moved to the more metropolitan area of Boise, Idaho, and there Virginia began her education.

She attended Scripps College in Claremont, California, and graduated from the University of Washington at Seattle. Transported to Michigan at the time of her marriage, she continued her education at the University of Michigan while raising four children. She considers several trips to Europe, India, South America and the Pacific islands to have been an important part of that education.

Intrigued from childhood by the mysterious and the unfamiliar, after her family left home, Virginia embarked on the studies of mysticism that led her to spend time at Summit University in Pasadena, California (now located in Montana). It was there that her fascination with the remarkable world of Francis Bacon began.

The Shakespeare Code explains a few of the amazing facts that she discovered after years of research about this great and only partially understood philosopher. Although she has published numerous articles and pamphlets on the subject, this is her first full-length book.
