William Shakespeare was born in 1564 at Stratford-on-Avon in England. At that time Elizabeth I had been
Queen for years.
We do not know much about Shakespear's life. However, we do know that his father was a shopkeeper
and that his mother was the daughter of a farmer. William went to Stratford Grammar School, where he learnt
Latin, scripture and mathematics.
When he left school, William was employed by his father. He married a local girl, Anne Hatheway, when
he was eighteen. Three years later he left Stratford and went to London.
