    Very little is known about William Shakespeare's childhood. He was born in 1564 in London and went to the local grammar school where he learned poetry, history, Greek, and Latin. By the time Shakespeare and his wife Anne had twins, there are no surviving records of Shakespeare for several years, known as his "lost years." Shakespeare eventually settled his family in London where he worked in the theatre.
