SHAKESPEARE
Click on this picture of Shakespeare and learn about him:
William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest ever English writers. Some of Shakespeare’s better known plays include ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Much Ado About Nothing’.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 before moving to London to become an actor at age 21. Shakespeare wrote different genres of plays throughout his career, starting out mainly with comedies and histories before moving on to tragedies as he grew older.
In 1599, along with some fellow actors, Shakespeare built a theatre on the South Bank of the River Thames which he named ‘The Globe’. It was here that many of his plays were performed. Today, visitors to London can still watch Shakespeare plays at the restored Globe Theatre.
William Shakespeare was a very well-known character in Tudor England. It is thought that Elizabeth I was a fan of his plays.

INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S BOOK DAY 2015
MANY CULTURES ONE STORY
“We speak many languages and come from different backgrounds, Yet we share the same stories”
International stories... folklore stories
It’s the same story told to us all
In different voices
In different colors
Yet it remains unchanged...
Beginning...
Plot...
And End...
It is the same story we all know & love
We all heard it
In different versions by different voices
Yet it is always the same
There is a hero... a princess... & a villain
No matter their language Their names
Or their faces
It is always the same Beginning,
Plot
And Ending
Always that hero...that princess and that villain
Unchanged through centuries
They keep us company
They whisper to us in our dreams
They lull us to sleep
Their voices long gone
But they live in our hearts forever
For they bring us together in a land of mystery and imagination
So that all different cultures melt into One Story
