William Shakespeare1564-1616 Stratford-on-Avon. England

William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. William spent his childhood in his native town.

He was John and Mary Shakespeare's oldest child; their first two children, both girls, did not live for a long time. William had three younger brothers and two younger sisters.

Their father, John Shakespeare, was a rich man and he gave his son a good education.

William studied at a grammar school. The main subjects at that time were Latin and English. William knew Latin well. He could read and translate Latin books.

In 1582, William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. They had three children: two daughters and a son, but their son died at the age of 11.

When William’s father became poor he had to go to London and begin to work. William’s first work was to look after horses of the rich people who came to the theatre.

Later on Shakespeare became an actor. Then he founded the theatre himself. The name of the theatre was “The Globe” because it was round.

Shakespeare wrote the plays for the theatre and played the main parts in them. William Shakespeare also wrote many sonnets and poems.
