Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. ![]() His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems.

Harry is grumpy, Asher is sunshine, and I loved writing this book so much!
