Montblanc Writers Edition William Shakespeare limited edition Montblanc honours the famed English poet and playwright with this pen (others in the edition include Franz Kafka, George Bernard Shaw, Jules Verne and Leo Tolstoy). The octagonal design of the multi-coloured fountain pen is inspired by the Globe Theatre, the London playhouse associated with Shakespeare. There is also a clip ring which could relate to the golden earring which Shakespeare wore in his famous portrait. This edition, created in 2016, is limited to 1,597 pieces, relating to the year when one of his most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet, was first published. It retails at around £2,800
