William Shakespeare

Nowadays people seem to read newspapers mostly. Many people are fond of reading detective stories or spy thrillers. I myself prefer books about politics, history. I enjoy reading books by such English writers as Charles Dickens, Walter Scott.

My favorite writer is William Shakespeare, one of the outstanding personalities in the world literature. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon not farm from London. His father, John Shakespeare, came to Stratford from a village and opened a shop there. He never became a rich man but at one time he was an important official in the city. William Shakespeare lived in Stratford until he was twenty-one. He got married and had three children. At the age of 21 William left Stratford for London to join a company of actors.
