13a) This playwright lived with an artist (8)
?L?T?H?R gives, presumably, Fletcher - who lived with Beaumont. Why "artist", though?

Aha - but it ain't over till it's over: I am still ultimately stymied by 21d)
Very successful children's author's bargain book announced? (5)
I have S?E??, because I dunno whether 25a) is Bannatyne or Ballantyne.
Haven't enjoyed this one very much...
21d clue doesn't have "childrens" in it
successful author is (danielle) steel ...sounds like steal ... a bargain

Ballantyne (i entered online and that was correct)
