On April 23,1564 a son,William ,was born to John and Mary Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-avon. His mother was the daughter of a farmer . His father was a glove -maker. William went to a grammar school in a Stratford and had quite a good education. There he learned to love reading . While still a teenager,William married Anne Hathaway,a farmer's daughter some years older than himself. We don't know how he earned his living during these early years,perhaps he helped his father in the family business. During these years his three children were born:Susannah,the eldest,them twins - a son ,Hamnet ,and another girl,Judith . In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London ,leaving Anne and the children at home. We don't known exactly why he did it. Some people say that the reason was his love of poetry and theatre. But there is another story which says that he head to run away from law because he killed some deer belonging to a rich man.
