William Shakespeare, the greatest English writer of drama, was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. We do not know everything about Shakespeare's early life. But we know that he studied at the Grammar School in Stratford, and that he became interested in the theatre when he was still a boy.

In 1586 Shakespeare went to London, where he worked in the theatre for some years before he began to write his own plays.

Shakespeare soon became well-known in London literary circles. Every play that he wrote was good news to the people of the capital. Queen Elizabeth I liked Shakespeare's plays, and the actors were often invited to play before the Queen and later before the King James - a great honor in those days. By the end of the 16 century Shakespeare and his friends had enough money to build their own theatre - the famous Globe Theatre.

But Shakespeare had quite many difficulties in his life. Less talented writers, whose plays were worse than his, often quarreled with Shakespeare and attacked him, the actors in his own theatre sometimes turned against him.

Now people in many countries love and honor Shakespeare for his plays, comedies and tragedies that are still modern and well-known all over the world.

With the words "Elementary, my dear Watson...", the most famous detective of all times, Sherlock Holmes, starts to explain something to his friend, Dr. Watson. That phrase has now entered the English language.

Sherlock Holmes first appeared in 1882. He became famous in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". After that came the whole series of books about him: "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", "The Hound of Baskervilles" and many others. Many thousands of books about Sherlock Holmes are still sold every year.

Who invented Sherlock Holmes? Arthur Conan Doyle was his inventor. He was a doctor. In 1882 he moved from Scotland to England to set up a practice. One of the doctors he worked with, Dr. Joseph Bell, was the model for Sherlock Holmes's friend, Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle's medical knowledge was a great help to him in his detective stories.

Conan Doyle started the fashion of the detective story, which goes on.

And what sort of man is Sherlock Holmes? We learn a lot about him from the stories in which he appears. He is a quiet man, who only speaks when he has something to say. He smokes a pipe (he has a collection of them). He plays the violin. He carries a large magnifying glass. He lives at 22 IB Baker Street in London.

If you go to London, you will not be able to find 22 IB Baker Street. But instead, you can go to a pub called the "Sherlock Holmes". In that pub there is a room exactly like Sherlock Holmes's room at 221B Baker Street as described in Conan Doyle's stories.
