Synopsis "The Doctor's! A Kid's Guide to Shakespeare's Daughter's House"
William and Anne Shakespeare (formerly Anne Hathaway) had three children. Their first child was Susanna, christened on May 26, 1583. Twins arrived in January, 1585 and were baptized on February 2, 1585. The twins, Hamnet and Judith, were named after two friends of William Shakespeare, Stratford's baker, Hamnet Sadler and his wife, Judith. Hamnet died atthe tender age of eleven. His short life is unrecorded. Some speculate he died of the plague. This must have made Shakespeare very sad indeed as he left no male heir.. June 5, 1607, Susanna married the famed and prosperous Stratford physician John Hall. To marry a prominent physician was considered an excellent match, and this must have made Shakespeare very happy indeed. Use this book to take an explore through Susanna's home.
