William Shakespeare was the most remarkable storyteller that the world has ever known. Homer told of adventure and men at war, Sophocles and Tolstoy told of tragedies and of people in trouble. Terence and Mark Twain told cosmic stories, Dickens told melodramatic ones, Plutarch told histories and Hans Christian Andersen told fairy tales. But Shakespeare told every kind of story â€“ comedy, tragedy, history, melodrama, adventure, love stories and fairy tales â€“ and each of them so well that they have become immortal. In all the world of storytelling he has become the greatest name.
