Reginald Arkell (1881-1959) was a British script writer and comic novelist who wrote many musical plays for the London theater. The most popular of those was an adaptation of 1066 and All That, a spoof history book, into a play entitled 1066-and all that: A Musical Comedy based on that Memorable History by Sellar and Yeatman. He is the author of A Cottage in the Country, Old Herbaceous, and the Green Fingers series of garden verse.
