SHAKESPEARE

William Shakespeare was a poet and a playwright, and he is considerate the best writer in English of all times. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and he died in 1616.
He wrote plays, sonnets and other kind of poems, but he has become famous mostly for his plays. 

At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, and they had three children. He moved to London to work, where in 1599 the Globe Theathre was built, and there some of his plays where first performed. In 1613 it burnt, and in 1997 a reconstruction was built near the original

A reason why maybe Shakspeare's plays are that famous and important even now a days is because they all have a little bit of fantasy. In his plays there are always parties, weddings or funerals.
