I hope you are excited for today's blog! I am back with a very interesting topic!

Before that, let's know today's thought!

Wow! Such a positive thought! Always, remember this! Great!
Do you know the story of Merchant of Venice?
Well, don't worry I will introduce you the story.

First, let's know who is the author of the book and a little detail about him!
So, let's get started!

The author of the book is William Shakespeare.

Lets know more about him!

William Shakespeare was born in 1564, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small English town about 100 km from London. He was the 3rd of the 8 children born to his parents. His father, John, though born in a family of farmers, became a maker of leather of gloves. As Stratford was a flourishing market town, he did fairly well in his trade.

William Shakespeare went to the local grammar school but dropped out when he was 15 and became an apprentice in his father’s shop. When he was about 20, he moved to London in search of a living. A few years later he joined a theatre company and became an actor and a writer of plays. He rose quickly in the world of theatre and by 1597, when he was only 33, he had become rich and famous. Many of his plays were staged at the Globe Theatre in London.

Shakespeare died in 1616, at the age of 52, and is buried in Stratford. He is regarded as perhaps the greatest writer who wrote in English.

So, this is about the author.

In my next blog I will tell you about the play- - THE MERCHANT OF VENICE ACT I SCENE 1.
