Though no one can truly confirm William Shakespeare s birthdate, baptismal traditions point to it being April 23, 1564, which is when most of the world now celebrates it. (Coincidentally, he died on the same date in 1616 at the age of 52.) If you re the type who still sets aside a little time to remember the Bard on his birthday, you ll probably have room in your life for some of these offbeat collectibles that honor Shakespeare s wit and wisdom.
