William Shakespeare is a famous English writer who lived in the 16th century and wrote such famous books as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet." He was a playwright, meaning he didn't actually write books, but rather scripts for theatrical performances (for the Globe Theatre in London). Moreover, he not only wrote plays but also performed on stage as actor. His plays are full of adventures, ghosts, shipwrecks, wizards, kings and funny misunderstandings. His stories are relatable to people of all ages even today. He even invented many new words - some words we use in English today first appeared in his works. Interestingly, his wife's name was Anne Hathaway - just like a modern actress.
