Come and hear a story of danger, romance, discovery and adventure old Will Shakespeare would love too. Guess what one of the greatest of all scientists thought the world of the greatest poet, William Shakespeare? Give up? If you guessed Charles Darwin you would be so right! he on...ce wrote, "The first thing I ever learned in school and loved was Shakespeare. I used to sit in the wide window sills of the halls reading his great plays. My father would often lead us on souvenir hunting treks mentioned by Shakespeare. We lived by the fields of Shrewsbury where Richard the Third fell in battle. What a joy!" #yyjshakespeare #shakespeare #yyjarts
