Summary
William Shakespeare is a name that every English speaking person has heard. He is considered to be the most famous English man, the greatest playwright in history and a literary genius. However, how much do you really know about Shakespeare other than the fact that he wrote Romeo and Juliet? Do you know what he really looked like? That he invented a lot of the words that you use when you write your next social media post? That he was responsible for a great London fire and at one time stole a deer? That in all probability he didn't even exist? Discover the life of Shakespeare, who his friends were, the circumstances he grew up in and his career in London. Find out interesting anecdotes and judge for yourself if any of the dozens of myths and controversies surrounding Shakespeare are true or completely false. While Shakespeare might have gifted the world an immense treasure chest of literature, did he also leave behind one of the most mysterious literary legacy of all time?
