The Swan of Avon.

In April 1564, a son was born to John and Mary Shakespeare at Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon. His mother was the daughter of Robert Arden, an important farmer in Warwickshire. His father was a rich citizen whose business was making and selling leather gloves

While still a teenager of nineteen, William married Anne Hathaway, a farmer's daughter, some years older than himself. We don't know how he earned his living these early years. He may have helped his father in the family business or he may have been a country schoolmaster for a time. During these years his three children were born: Susannah, Hamnet (not Hamlet) and Judith.

In 1587, Shakespeare went to work in London, leaving Anne and the children at home. One story says this is because he killed some deer, which belonged to a rich landowner nearby, and that he had to run away from the law. Shakespeare soon began to act and write plays. By 1592, he was an important member of a well-known acting company, and in 1599 the famous Globe theatre was built on the south bank of the river Thames. It was in this theatre that most of his plays were performed and, like all Elizabethan theatres, it was a round building with the stage in the centre open to the sky. By 1603, the year when Queen Elizabeth I died, Shakespeare was already the leading poet and dramatist of his time. He continued to write for the next ten years, but in 1613, he finally stopped writing and went to live in Stratford where he died in 1616. He is buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon.
