We know very little about his life. He was born on the 23 on-Avon, a small English town. William was baptised in the church of Stratford on the 26 of April. The boy was born to John and Mary Shakespeare. His mother was the daughter of a farmer. His father was a glove-maker. Little is known about William’s childhood. He was edu­cated at the local Grammar School. William’s father wanted his son to be an educated per­son. There he learned to love reading. Young William liked to watch actors who visited Strat­ford-on-Avon. He was fond of acting and de­cided to become an actor. When little over eighteen, William married Anne Hathaway of Shottery. Anne was a farmer’s daughter some years older than William. They had three chil­dren. They were Susannah, Hamnet and Judith. William lived in Stratford until he was about twenty-three. In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London, leaving Anne and the children at home. We don’t know why he did it. Some peo­ple say that the reason was his love for poetry and theatre. But there is another story which says that he had to run away from law because he had killed some deer belonging to a rich man.
