William Shakespeare
I was born on 26 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. People think that I'm one of the greatest English writers. I am often called England's national poet and nicknamed the "Bard of Avon". I wrote about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses. I married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18. She was eight years older than me. We had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. My most famous work is "Romeo and Juliet".
